Rupee against USD

Mumbai, June 17 (UNI) The Rupee on Tuesday appreciated by 10 paise at 85.96 in the opening session on weak dollar demand by bankers and importers and the easing of crude oil prices, forex traders said.

However, a weak opening in the domestic equity market limited the rise, the trader added.

The currency opened 5 paise up at 86.01 against the dollar. It closed the previous session at 86.06.

The partially convertible rupee recorded intra-day highs and lows at 85.96 and 86.03, respectively, dealers added.
