Rupee pares gains

Our Bureau

MUMBAI: The rupee pared gains as it closed at 45.84/85 per dollar after it had touched the highest level in nearly a month at 45.7450.

The domestic currency had closed at 45.81/82 against the greenback on October 8.

In the morning session the rupee strengthened to an intra-day high of 45.7450 per dollar, aided by dollar weakness overseas coupled with selling of greenbacks by exporters, dealers said.

Heavy demand for dollars from a large corporate house led to the rupee's slide during late afternoon, they added. "State- run banks were also seen buying dollars in the evening," said a trader at a private sector bank. NTPC inflows are expected to prop up the rupee tomorrow, he added.

The forwards inched up - - the six-month forward closed at 2.65 per cent (2.45 per cent) and the twelve-month closed at 2.20 per cent (2.05 per cent).
