RBI Involvement Blocks Rupee’s Advancement

Mumbai: According to the market traders, the rupee edged higher on yesterday but its rise was blocked up by RBI that intervened heavily to keep it off 9-1/2-year peaks.

The partially convertible rupee ended at 39.305/310 per dollar, strengthening from Friday's finish of 39.36/37. Last week, it had hit 39.27 -- its strongest level since March 1998.

A senior dealer with a foreign bank said, “The central bank absorbed everything that came its way today without them we would be at 39.20.”

The dealer computes that the RBI has purchased around $80 million to check the rupee’s increase.
