Rupee down 3 paise vs dollar
The rupee resumed lower at Rs 49.60/61 per dollar on the Interbank Foreign Exchange, as against last weekend's close of Rs 49.43/44 per dollar, and dropped further to Rs 49.70 per dollar on good month-end dollar demand from importers.
However, it recovered afterward to Rs 49.34 per dollar before quoting at Rs 49.46/47 per dollar on selling of dollars by banks and corporates due to uncertainty in the currency market.
In the Sydney market, the euro got off to a wobbly and volatile start as investors reacted cautiously to mixed news on Europe's escalating debt crisis.
The Indian benchmark Sensex was down by 195 points, or 1.21 per cent, in early trade today.
