Rupee ends unchanged

Our Bureau

Mumbai, April 13

The rupee was volatile against the dollar on Thursday due to the fall in the stock markets but ended almost unchanged.

The domestic currency opened at 45.33/35 and touched an intra-day low of 45.40. It, however, appreciated to close the day at 45.18/20, against 45.19 on Wednesday.

Dealers said the fall in the Sensex and the ebbing of FII inflows caused the rupee to lose ground against the dollar.

A dealer at a private bank said the central bank seemed to have stepped in at the intra-day low of 45.40 and sold dollars through nationalised banks. "There was all round corporate as well as inter-bank buying of dollars. However, the intervention by RBI caused the rupee to trim its losses before closing," said the dealer.

The rupee is likely remain in the range of 45.10-45.40 in the next few days, said dealers. In the forward premia market, the 6-month premium closed at 1.28 per cent (1.17) and the 12-month ended at 1.34 per cent (1.25).
