The Indian rupee appreciated further by 10 paise to 40.21/22 against the US currency in morning trade on Wednesday largely due to some dollar sales by exporters and weakness in American currency overseas.
The local currency resumed lower at 40.33/35 a dollar but later surged to 40.21/22 a dollar from its previous close of 40.31/32 a dollar.
The rupee drew support from a mild rally in local stocks while Asian markets were still sluggish in early trade. Dealers said exporters dollar sales at the current levels also aided the rupee sentiment.
Replying to [BHARAT ]:Oh! The rupee is appreciating and depreciating against the dollar like a bar-graph.Well though it is some relief for the Indians that it atleast crossed 40 mark against one dollar.
