Rupee seen up on stock gains

Rupee is seen higher on Thursday,22nd jan. on gains in some Asian stock markets and the dollar's losses against some Asian currencies, but caution
ahead of a central bank policy review next week may cap the rise.

The partially convertible rupeeclosed at 49.11/13 per dollar on Wednesday, 0.2 per cent stronger than Tuesday's close of 49.20/22.

Foreign fund flows have been a key factor determining the rupee's fortunes in recent years. Foreigners have already sold about $660 million worth of local shares in 2009, after having dumped more than $13 billion last year.

One-month offshore non-deliverable forward contracts were at 49.10/20, largely in line with the local onshore closing rate.

Asia stocks clung to small gains on Thursday, with investors reassured after bank shares fuelled a Wall Street rally, but with global economic gloom still pervasive, safe-haven trades such as the yen and US Treasuries also rose.
