Mixed pattern was again seen on the currency market on Monday in process of trading, dealers said. The rupee shed five paisa against dollar for buying at 87.45 and slipped by three paisa for selling at 87.48, they said.
The meeting between German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President Nicolas Sarkozy offered no details, but drew a pledge to do what is necessary to shore up banks, settle the Greek debt crisis and help growth in Europe, giving a gentle boost to risk sentiment.
Market players, however, remained cautious given the lack of details and since EU leaders have promised several times before to resolve the debt crisis, to no avail. Interbank buy/sell rates for taka against dollar on Monday: 75.48-75.52 (previous 75.48-75.50) Call Money Rates: 6.25-7.75 percent (previous 6.25-7.75 percent).
The yuan ended at a record closing high against dollar on Monday, scoring its biggest daily gain and up more than 30 percent on the US currency since its landmark revaluation in July 2005, as recent worries over dollar liquidity eased. The dollar was trading against the Indian rupee at 49.09 and it was available at 3.1310 in terms of the Malaysian ringgit.
