The rupee closed at 73.62 levels in the last session • The dollar extended Monday’s gain and moved to new three-months high on continued liquidity demand in stocks.

Currency futures on NSE

The US$ INR has again reverted from its highest Call base of 75. We feel only a sustainable close above this level would open up more upsides. Until then, it is likely to remain in a range • The dollar-rupee July contract on the NSE was at Rs 74.71 in the last session. The open interest fell almost 8.7% for the July series.
