Re weakens on dollar demand

Our Bureau

Mumbai, Nov. 15

The rupee weakened by almost 15 paise on aggressive demand for dollars from foreign banks. The RBI was also suspected to be present in the market through public sector banks selling the rupee, said a dealer with a private bank.

This impacted the rupee. The home currency opened at 45.17, to finally close Rs 45.34/35, against the previous close at 45.19/20. Dealers said the rupee was expected to trade at 45.20-35 levels this week.

In forwards, the six-month premium closed at 1.88 per cent (1.79 per cent) and the one-year closed at 1.73 per cent (1.7 per cent). The dollar strengthened slightly against the yen, euro and sterling.
