THE RUPEE: minor changes on money market

Published Updated

The rupee fluctuated slightly versus dollar and euro on the currency market on Friday in process of trading, dealers said. The rupee slipped by four paisa against dollar for buying and selling 87.45 at 87.50, they said.
The euro relinquished modest gains made after Germany approved an expansion of the euro-zone bailout fund, pressured by a wall of orders from Japanese exporters wrapping up deals for the end of their financial first half. It lost 0.8 percent to 103.66 yen, taking out some light stop losses below the late New York low of 103.90 yen, and shed 0.3 percent versus dollar to $1.3549, with some traders detecting macro funds among the sellers.
The yuan closed near its lowest daily trading limit versus the dollar from the central bank's mid-point on Friday after trading mostly at the limit during the session.
