Rupee recedes against dollar

Our Bureau

Mumbai, May 17

The rupee weakened on Thursday by around 10 paise on dollar buying by some oil importers. The home currency opened at 40.81, touched an intra-day high of 40.77 to finally close at 40.85/87 against Wednesday's close of 40.78. "Nationalised banks were seen buying dollars due to demand from importers. The RBI was not seen in the market," said a dealer at a private bank. Dealers expect the rupee to breach the 41-level in the next 10 days.

The six-month forward premia stood at 4.52 per cent (4.19 per cent) and 12-month premia at 3.97 per cent (3.82 per cent).
