Rupee falls

July 18, 2012 10:07 am | Updated 11:32 pm IST - Mumbai

The rupee washed out its early gains and closed 37 paise down to settle at 55.48 on fresh dollar demand from importers and banks. At the inter-bank foreign exchange market, the rupee opened higher at 55 a dollar from the previous close of 55.11. Soon after, it touched the day’s high of 54.97. However, rising demand for dollar pushed the rupee sharply to a low of 55.55 before concluding the day at 55.48.
