Rupee recovers from all-time low level, gains 18 paise against dollar

The rupee recovered from its all-time low level and settled 18 paise higher at 82.82 (provisional) against the US dollar on Wednesday, supported by easing crude oil prices. Forex traders said the weakness of the greenback in the overseas market, strong Asian peers and suspected intervention by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) also helped the currency. However, sustained foreign fund outflows and a weak trend in domestic equities restricted the appreciation bias to some extent. At the interbank foreign exchange market, the local unit opened at 82.87 and touched an intra-day high of 82.74 and a low of 82.91 against the greenback. It finally settled at 82.82, registering a rise of 18 paise over its previous close. On Tuesday, the rupee had slumped 22 paise to close at its all-time low of 83 against the dollar.
