trade today at the
Interbank Foreign Exchange on increased selling of the US currency by exporters
and banks amidst sustained foreign capital inflows. Forex dealers said besides
increased selling of the
American currency by exporters and banks, the dollar's weakness against other
currencies overseas, supported the rupee.
The rupee had dropped by 21 paise to three-and-a-half week low of 61.62
against the Greenback in the previous session on sustained dollar demand from
importers.
