The rupee after opening weak on Tuesday strengthened in latter trade tracking the euro’s gains, the local unit got pressured by heavy demand for dollars and weaker Asian currencies that edged lower in early trade. Further, topsy turvy local equity markets were unable to provide any cue for the domestic unit. However, traders are of the view that dollar demand for Oil payments will continue to weigh on the market as India imports more than three-quarters of the oil it consumes and refiners are the biggest buyers of dollars in the domestic foreign exchange market. Brent crude fell below $114 a barrel on Tuesday on expectations OPEC may raise its production target this week on lingering concerns that a weak economic outlook will dent demand.
On the global front, the euro held firm below a one-month high on Tuesday, though further upside after a two-week rally may require clear signals from the European Central Bank later in the week. Meanwhile, dollar was traded weaker against the basket of major currencies.
The partially convertible Rupee finally closed at 44.74/75, stronger by 2 paise from its previous close of 44.76/77 on Monday. It has touched a high and low of 44.82 and 44.73 respectively.
