(October 12 2010): Higher demand by the corporate sector, pushed the dollar demand up sharply, resultantly the rupee fell on the currency market on Monday, dealers said. The rupee lost 26 paisa against the dollar for buying at 86.14 and shed 25 paisa for selling at 86.17, they said. In the first Asian session dollar stabilised with risks of a short-term bounce growing despite expectations the Federal Reserve will have to print money to support the economy and international currency policy disarray.INTERBANK MARKET RATES: The dollar fell to a 15-year low of 81.40 yen but later clawed higher. The prospect remained that Japan could come into the market to cap the yen’s rise, though for now some dollar bids in thin trading conditions put a floor under the pair. Spot yuan on Monday ended at its highest closing level against dollar since a landmark revaluation in July 2005, as political pressure on China for a firmer currency was overtaken by renewed weakness in the US dollar. Malaysian ringgit was trading at 3.1000 versus dollar.
The Indian rupee resumed its climb towards 25-month highs, bolstered by firm stocks, stronger regional peers and the dollar’s weakness against major currencies.Foreign portfolio investment in equities of more than dollar eight billion since the start of September has lifted the rupee by 6.3 percent, and traders are betting the rising inflow could strengthen the rupee past 44 to a dollar – a level not seen since August 2008.At 10:42 am (0512 GMT), the partially convertible rupee was at 44.3150/3225, stronger than 44.42/43 at close on Friday.PEN MARKET RATES: In sympathy with the interbank market, the rupee was down by 20 paisa versus dollar for buying and selling at 86.00 and 86.20, they said.
