Ashutosh Raina of HDFC Bank says that the rupee has been trading in a very narrow range with a weakish bias. "Profit booking in equity markets, clubbed with demand from importers has put mild pressure on the currency," he adds. According to Raina, the rupee is expected to trade in a range of 60-64/USD for the week. "The range for the day is seen between 62.50-63.30/USD." Asian markets fell after steep losses on Wall Street overnight. Nikkei saw cuts of almost a percent, which resumed trade after holiday extended weekend. In commodities, oil prices dropped by more than 1 dollar per barrel while gold edged higher following three days of losses.
