Rupee gains 24 paise

Mumbai, Aug. 5

The rupee appreciated by 24 paise against the dollar on Tuesday due to gains in the stock market and oil prices falling below $120 per barrel. The currency opened higher at 42.36/38 and closed at 42.24/25, stronger than the previous close of 42.48/ 49.

The 383-point upswing in the stock market and oil prices falling to $119 per barrel pulled the rupee up, said a dealer with a private bank. Another dealer said big corporate houses were also seen selling dollars that helped the domestic currency strengthen against the dollar.

In the forward market, the 6-month premium closed substantially lower at 3.93 per cent (4.22) and the 12- month ended at 3.23 per cent (3.54). - Our Bureau
