Reuters Market Eye - (Corrects to say rupee highest since July 31 not weakest)

The rupee rises to as high as 60.33, its highest since July 31.

Last trading at 60.37/38 vs previous close of 60.68/69.

The dollar's fall comes after Ukraine said it has agreed on a ceasefire with Russia.

Traders say the 60.38 level is a crucial support for USD/INR pair.

RBI intervention eyed if the pair falls much beyond that support level.
