The rupee was down by 8 paise at 45.35 per US dollar in the early trade today amid month-end dollar demand from banks and importers and the dollar’s gains overseas.
The domestic unit opened slightly lower at 45.28/29 per dollar at the Interbank Foreign Exchange market against the previous close of 45.26/27 per dollar. It moved in a range between 45.20 and 45.35 per dollar in the morning deals.
Month-end dollar demand from banks and importers at lower levels mainly affected the rupee value against the American currency, a forex dealer said.
The US dollar made a comeback against major currency rivals on Tuesday following comments from a European official that raised the prospects for an interest rate hike by the European Central Bank.
