Rupee rises on dollar selling

Mumbai, Dec 24

The rupee strengthened by 10 paise to close at 39.44/ 45 against the greenback on Monday, backed by good dollar selling throughout the day, said dealers. The rupee saw a two-way movement today. The home currency opened at 39.46/48 and saw an intra-day high of 39.43 on dollar selling, before ending the day at 39.44/45, up from the previous close of 39.54/55.

"There was all round dollar selling in the market today. Apart from exporters, some custodial selling was also seen," said a dealer at a private bank. The rupee also saw an intra-day low of 39.53 as the central bank was buying dollars through state-run banks in order to cap the appreciation of rupee, said dealers.

Foreign exchange dealers said that the rupee would trade in the range of 39.40-39.50 this week. In forwards, the six-month premia closed at 1.69 per cent (1.53 per cent) and the 12-month closed at 1.25 per cent (1.15 per cent). - Our Bureau
