RUPEE DEPRECIATES 13 PAISE AGAINST US DOLLAR
The rupee weakened by another 13 paise to 65.16
against the dollar in early trade at the inter-bank foreign exchange market on
increased demand for the US currency from importers. The rupees had plunged by
35 paise to end at a fresh one week low of 65.03 a dollar owing to high demand
for the American currency from importers amid spike in crude oil prices after political
upheaval in Saudi Arabia.
Earlier, the rupee resumed higher at 64.65 as compared
to Monday close of 64.68 at the interbank foreign exchange (FOREX) Market on
bouts of dollar selling by exporters.
It gained further ground to touch a high of 64.6050
before retreating sharply in midst of strong dollar buying pressure. In forward
market today, premium for dollar displayed a mixed trend owing to lack of
market moving factors. Maybe it can be the effect of demonetization as
yesterday it completed one year of existence and have shown the result that it
was the right decision by the leading party.
