Political crisis hits rupee.

[Huda]

Renewed dollar demand from panicked buyers, amid some speculative trading, weighed down on the rupee’s value. On the interbank market, the rupee commenced the week with a big fall of 150 paisas for buying and 155 paisas for selling, as the greenback ended the first trading session at Rs103.15 and Rs103.25, against the prior week’s close of Rs101.65 and Rs101.70.
