THE RUPEE: falling trend

Published July 26, 2009 Updated July 26, 2009 12:00am

Bearish trend persisted on the currency market on Saturday as importers continued buying dollars, bankers said. On the interbank market, the rupee shed 15 paisa against dollar, for buying and selling at 82.50 and 82.55, they said.
In New York, the dollar fell against euro as figures, showing stabilising euro zone economy and a good week for the US stock market, eroded demand for the greenback as a safe haven. Higher-yielding, commodity-based currencies such as the Australian and New Zealand dollars rose as investors took on more risk. But sterling, which typically benefits from higher risk appetite, fell after data showed the UK economy contracted far more than expected in the second quarter.
