The rupee is trading at 60.26/27 versus Friday's close of 60.39/40 following weaker-than-expected US jobs data.
 
The RBI is likely buying dollars via state-run banks to prevent further fall in the pair, say traders.
 
Gains in the domestic share market are also weighing on the pair. Nifty is trading up 0.6%.
