The rupee is anticipated to strengthen marginally or stay steady towards the greenback in the course of the present week, The Information reported, quoting merchants on Sunday.
In line with the merchants, the rupee can be supported by the sluggish demand for the dollar from importers and optimistic sentiments as a consequence of robust development in exports.
“The local unit could hover around the same level during the first week of 2021, or appreciate slightly, owing to the lower import payments. The exports and remittances are good, so the sentiment is for a strong rupee,” a overseas trade dealer stated.
In the meantime, the next had been the charges of the US Greenback, Saudi Riyal, UK Pound, the UAE’s Dirham, and different foreign currency within the open market.
