Mumbai: The rupee fell back after resuming stronger against the US dollar and was quoted lower at Rs48.74/76 in late Thursday morning trade amid poor attendance due to a new year holiday in overseas markets.

Dealers in foreign exchange market said the rupee traded with wider quotes in volatile trade this morning as several traders were sidelined due to a holiday in the world markets.

Resuming stronger at Rs48.62 a dollar, the domestic unit later surged to a high of Rs48.45 before being quoted at Rs48.74/76 a dollar.

It had closed at Rs48.69/70 a dollar on 31 December.
