Dollar demand from importers also put pressure on the Indian rupee. At the Interbank Foreign Exchange (Forex) market, the domestic unit traded 3 paise down at 48.16 a dollar. The rupee ended 2 paise higher at 48.13/14 against the US currency in the previous session on Friday.
The Forex market remained closed yesterday on account of Eid-ul-Fitr.
