Indian rupee falls 28 paise in early trade to 61.47/USD

Indian rupee fell 28 paise in early trade to 61.47 per dollar as against previous day's closing of 61.19 per dollar.

Pramit Brahmbhatt of Alpari feels that a stronger dollar and high dollar demand from importers at these levels will exert pressure on the rupee.

"With no clear and strong measures from the government to boost fund inflow and fuel growth, the rupee could weaken further. However, strong equities could provide some support," he adds.

According to Brahmbhatt, the range for the day is seen between 60.70-61.75/USD while Agam Gupta, MD, head of FXRC, South Asia, Standard Chartered Bank expects sees the rupee hovering in the range of 61.25-61.75/USD for the day.

In an interview to CNBC-TV18 Agam Gupta says the government should continue with its stance of tightening short-term rates and should liberalise non-resident Indian (NRI) deposits to attract NRI money.
