The rupee is likely to near 61 a dollar this week as the Iraq crisis intensifies. Besides, month-end dollar demand from importers will also put pressure on the rupee.
On Friday, the rupee ended at 60.19, compared with the previous close of 60.09 a dollar.
Currency dealers believe that the Reserve Bank of India might not intervene to a significant extent to arrest the depreciation because they and the finance ministry are probably working on the Iran oil payment process.
