Rupee down 11 paise


Mumbai, July 25

The rupee depreciated by 11 paise against the dollar mainly due to losses in the stock market. The domestic currency opened weaker at 42.21/22 due to the fall in global indices. It touched an intra-day low of 42.35 and closed at 42.25/26, against the previous close of 42.14/15. A 500-point fall in the stock market pulled the rupee down, said a dealer with a private bank.

The low-intensity blasts in Bangalore also adversely affected market sentiments dragging the rupee down, added the dealer. The rupee is expected to appreciate further in the next week and would be in a range of 41.80-42.30, said forex dealers. In the forward market, the 6-month premium closed higher at 4.75 per cent (4.63) and the 12-month ended at 3.92 per cent (3.90).
