Comments: In the open market, the trading drift between Rupee and the US Dollar was not much dissimilar from the last week and no major change was recorded in the value of the Rupee this week too. The market showed normal momentum and routine buying and selling of the Greenback was seen on the desks. However, in some sessions, a slight fall in the value of the Rupee was recorded.
