Today Rupee opens nearly 16 paise down at 67.52 against dollar
The rupee opened nearly 16 paise down at 67.52 against the dollar on Friday on account of selling of the greenback by banks and importers.
The domestic currency was trading 22 paise down at 67.58 in early trade around 9.15 am.
Extending its gains for the third straight day, the rupee on Thursday closed at a near one- month high of 67.36, up 27 paise against the dollar.
The domestic equity market opened higher, following firm global cues. The BSE Sensex opened 94.25 points, or 0.35 per cent, higher at 26,788, while NSE's Nifty50 index rose 24.85 points, or 0.30 per cent, to 8,271.
Government bonds ended little changed on Thursday, as the RBI Monetary Policy Committee's surprise decision to keep rates steady dissuaded investors from adding fresh positions.
The benchmark 6.97 per cent bond maturing in 2026 ended at Rs 104.07 on Thursday against Rs 104.00 on Wednesday. As a result, bond yields fell to 6.40 per cent from 6.41 per cent on the previous day.
