Rupee recovers on dollar sales

Mumbai, Feb 21

The rupee, which breached the psychological mark of 40 and depreciated by almost 28 paise on Wednesday, today saw straight gains and went up to close at 39.93. "It was a one-way movement in the market today. There was huge selling of dollars by banks and some large corporates," said a dealer at a private bank. The home currency opened at yesterday's close of 40.21/ 22 and strengthened by 29 paise to end at 39.92/93.

Foreign exchange dealers who had anticipated that the rupee would weaken further said that the rupee's strengthening was mainly on account of heavy dollar selling from all counters. In the forwards, the six-month dollar forward closed at a premia of 0.59 per cent against a discount of -0.53 per cent on Wednesday. The 12-month closed at 0.81 per cent (0.33 per cent). - Our Bureau
