Further improvement was witnessed on the money market on Saturday as the rupee moved up versus the dollar in process of trading activity, dealers said. The rupee picked up more 20 paisas in terms of the dollar for buying and selling at Rs 141.30 and Rs 141.80, they said. The rupee was unchanged in relation to the euro for buying and selling at Rs 157.50 and Rs 159.05, they said.
OPEN MARKET RATES: In the final US trade, the dollar slipped against a basket of currencies on Friday as traders focused on the weaker aspects in the April US payrolls report, brushing aside a stronger-than-forecast in hiring and a drop in the jobless rate to an over 49-year low. Traders turned their attention to the modest 0.2% monthly pace of wage growth and the drop in the job participation rate, which analysts blamed for the catalysts for some selling in the greenback.
