|
The Indian rupee has opened lower by 8 paise at 68.65 per dollar on Wednesday against previous close of 68.57.
NS Venkatesh of IDBI Bank said, "The rupee strengthened marginally and closed at 68.59/dollar on account of dollar sales by PSU banks."
"The rupee has been one of the worst performers in the Asian currencies this calendar year with a depreciation of 3.55 percent."
"The USD-INR pair is expected to take cues from the equity market today and trade in the range of 68.48-68.62/dollar," he added.
The Japanese currency climbed to a two-week peak against the dollar as fall in equities revives demand for safe-haven currencies.
