Rupee steady

Our Bureau

MUMBAI: The rupee on Wednesday closed steady at 45.3450/3500 in its value against the dollar on account of active intervention by the central bank, said forex dealers.

The domestic currency had opened at Tuesday's closing level of 45.3500/3550.

The market witnessed good supplies of the dollar and amidst no corporate demand for the greenback, it was mopped up by the RBI, said a forex dealer in a private bank.

The intra-day high was 45.3575, while the intra-day low was 45.3325.

The forwards market was very active with importers coming to buy dollar forward contracts and there was plenty of inter-bank activity.

The six months forward closed almost 30 basis points higher at 1.13 per cent (0.85 per cent) and the one-year closed at 0.91 per cent (0.75 per cent).
