Rupee shade higher

MUMBAI: The rupee on Tuesday ended a notch higher against the U.S. currency after healthy trade and foreign institutional investment inflows helped to overcome early pressures due to corporate dollar demand amid a resurgent dollar overseas in moderately active trading at the interbank foreign exchange market.

Closing at 43.5400/5450 a dollar, a shade better than Monday's finish of 43.5450/5500 and a sharp rally from the low of 43.56/57 struck in intraday deals, the rupee, however, opened on a positive note at 43.53/54, dealers said. It declined by three paise yesterday due to dollar demand from oil corporates amid rising crude oil prices.

World crude oil prices slipped to $57.20 a barrel in Asian trade, as adequate supplies blunted hurricane effects.

Traders expect the rupee to move in a narrow range on Wednesday. — PTI
