Thursdasy;June 16, 2016:Rupee appreciated to 67.13 paisa against the US dollar in early trade at the Interbank Foreign Exchange today on increased selling of the American currency by exporters and banks. Forex dealers said, “the dollar's weakness against other currencies overseas after the US Federal Reserve left interest rates unchanged, supported the rupee”. Meanwhile, a feeble opening of the local equity market restricted the gains.
However, the benchmark BSE Sensex fell by 182.71 points, or 0.68 %, to 26,543.63 in early trade.
