Rupee declines; state-run banks seen selling dollars

The rupee was trading at 59.69 against the US dollar at 11.46 am today, compared to its previous close of 59.34/35. The pair has traded in a 59.55-59.79 band during the session.

Dealers say a large state-run bank and finance firms were early buyers, while some selling was seen from state-run banks, though not likely from the Reserve Bank of India.

The RBI was rumored selling dollars late on Wednesday to support the currency.
