The Sri Lankan rupee ended slightly higher on Thursday, easing from a record low hit in the previous session, as exporters dollar sales surpassed importer demand for the greenback in dull trade, while stocks ended weaker for a third straight session to hit a one-week low.
The rupee ended at 171.20/40 per dollar, compared with the previous close of 171.30/50. The rupee fell to an all-time low of 171.60 per dollar on Wednesday, surpassing the previous low of 171.00 hit on Tuesday amid foreign selling in government securities and exporter greenback sales, market sources said.
