Rupee seen up as Asian peers, shares rise

indian rupee, us dollar

The rupee is expected to open stronger on Friday buoyed by gains in other regional currencies and shares, while the dollar's losses versus the euro is also seen helping sentiment.

The euro rose after a drop in US Treasury yields dented the dollar, and gave the single currency some respite from a recent sell-off on worries over the possibility of debt restructuring by Greece.

The index of the dollar against six major currencies was down 0.26% at 75.356 points at 0237 GMT, compared to 75.577 points when the rupee market closed on Thursday.

The MSCI index of Asian stocks ex-Japan was up 0.73% and the Nifty India stock futures traded in Singapore were up 0.7%, suggesting a firm start to the domestic sharemarket.

The partially convertible rupee ended 0.1% stronger on Wednesday at 45.30/31 per dollar.

Traders expect the rupee to open around 45.20 and move in a 45.15 to 45.35 band.
