The US dollar today held close to a 14-month high against the euro, as the rise in energy prices increased the risk for the Federal Reserve to act sooner to normalise the policy. In an early trade session today, the rupee declined 22 paise to 74.76 against the American currency.
”So far, rising crude oil prices and continued strength in the dollar had caused weakness in the rupee. However, the recent retracement in oil amid a rise in U.S. crude stockpiles and indications by Russia to offer help to stabilize energy markets have lent some support to the rupee,” said Mr Amit Pabari, MD, CR Forex.
