  • Comments Off on THE RUPEE: official, open market rates almost equal
Slight difference was seen between the interbank and open market rates on Monday amid strong demand for dollars, dealers said. On the interbank market the rupee drifted lower versus the US currency, shedding five paisa for buying and selling at 84.30 and 84.35, they said.

In the first session of the week in Asian trade dollar and yen dipped in subdued trade, giving up earlier gains as investors hesitated to trade actively with the New York market closed for a holiday. The dollar and yen had risen earlier in the session as currencies leveraged to global growth, such as the Australian dollar, were hit by profit-taking after quarterly results from JPMorgan Chase & Co sent equity markets lower.

OPEN MARKET RATES: The rupee followed the same print on the open market, losing 10 paisa versus dollar for buying and selling at 85.30 and 85.40, they added. The rupee also shed 15 paisa in terms of euro for buying and selling at Rs 121.55 and Rs 122.05, they said.
