Rupee opens firm at 45.52 against US dollar

Mumbai, Sep 22: The rupee on Monday, Sep 22 resumed firm at 45.52 against US dollar, with a modest gain of 30 paise, from its last close of 45.82 on sustained heavy dollar selling pressure by local operators.

Dealers said ''Rupee pared some of its gains in this morning session after the local stock market turned negative after a strong start, and offshore related dollar demand kept some pressure on the local unit.'' Later, the domestic currency was fluctuating in a narrow range between 45.24 and 45.58 per dollar during the mid-session, they added.
