Rupee ends on firm note


Mumbai, Aug 29

The rupee slightly appreciated against the dollar on Wednesday buoyed by the upswing in the stock market. The currency opened weak at 41.35/37 but gained during the day to close at 41.10/11, against the previous close at 41.16/17. The rupee also gained on sustained dollar selling by foreign and private banks, dealers said. “The appreciation of the rupee was surprising as there is a lot of month-end dollar demand,” said a dealer at a private bank. In the forwar d premia market, the six month closed at 1.07 per cent (0.70 per cent) and the 12 month ended at 1.15 per cent (0.96 per cent).
