Forex Rupee falls on heavy dollar demand
Mumbai, Aug. 30 The rupee fell against the greenback on Thursday on the back of heavy corporate demand for dollars. The domestic currency opened at 41, dipped to touch an intra-day low of 41.18 and finally ended at 41.16, against the previous close at 41.10/11. Dealers said the home currency opened strong tracking the buoyancy in the global stock markets but lost its gains as there was sustained dollar demand. “There was strong month-end demand from importers. The rupee is likely to be range bound in the next few days,” said a dealer at a private bank. In forwards, the six month closed at 1.22 per cent (1.07) and the 12 month ended at 1.29 per cent (1.15). — Our Bureau
