Mumbai: The rupee on Friday gained 5 paise to close at 54.42 against the dollar with RBI's swift action pulling it back from near 55-levels touched in early trade amid strong capital outflows.At the Forex market, the domestic currency in early trade threatened to breach the 55-level as it slumped to 54.91, its fresh all-time low hit in the third straight session, as copious fund outflows continued amid Eurozone worries.
Dealers said strong dollar demand from importers, mainly oil refiners, on expectation of further rise in dollar on concerns caused rupee's fall.
However, RBI stepped in and stemmed the rupee's slide.
The central bank's Deputy Governor Subir Gokarn in Kolkata today also said RBI will continue to intervene and take administrative measures to protect the rupee, boosting the sentiments in favour of the rupee.
"The approach over the last few months have been a combination of intervention at times when we have felt it will help us stabilise, and some administrative action. This is the approach that will work now," said Gokarn on the sidelines of an event here.
Forex dealers also said that a sudden gush of dollar selling at the fag end by exporters amid recovery in local stocks aided the rupee recovery as the domestic unit touched a high of 54.40 before closing at 54.42. The currency has lost over 22 percent against the dollar in the past one year.
However, experts do not feel rupee's woes against the dollar are over for now as the Indian economy continues to battle with fiscal as well as budget deficits and Greece's possible exit from Eurozone keeps fundamentals intact in favour of the American currency.
"It is difficult to say whether rupee is consolidating at the current level or will fall further as RBI is watching the market," said Viral Shah, Head - Institutional Business, Geojit Comtrade.
The benchmark six-month forward dollar premium payable in October ended up at 154-156 paise from Thursday's close of 151-153 paise and far-forward contracts maturing in April also finished higher at 272-274 paise from 262-264 paise.
The RBI fixed the reference rate for the US dollar at 54.8755 and for euro at 69.4885.
The rupee improved further to 86.04 against the pound sterling from 86.24 previously while fell back to 69.16 per euro from 69.05. It dropped further against the Japanese yen to 68.58 per 100 yen from last close of 67.92.

Authorities neutralised an organised crime group that used to operate on the territory of Bulgaria, which was part of an international organisation, which secured part of the process of the laundering of money passing through the country and which is acquired through drugs trafficking from Latin America to Europe.
The investigation revealed that the money used to come from destinations such as the Antilles, Venezuela, Panama and other countries. After the money was transferred to controlled bank accounts in Bulgaria, the sums were immediately redirected to China, Hong Kong, Spain and the USA.
It was also ascertained that the money flow was passing through the bank accounts of the members of the group and controlled juridical persons.
According to initial data, the laundered sum since the turn of the year is estimated at more than BGN 5 million.
Authorities raided three addresses in Sofia, where they found bank, company and tax documents, personal computers, cell phones.
Three people were arrested, aged 25 and 37.
I thank the colleagues with the General Directorate for Fight against Organised Crime (GDBOP) for the well-done work in the exchange of information with DEA, Interior Minister Tsvetan Tsvetanov told FOCUS News Agency, in commentary for the money laundering scheme disclosed in the special police operation dubbed The Launderers.
The scheme involved money transfers from different countries in the world, while the receivers are Bulgarian citizens. This way they re-launder the money, transferring it through several bank accounts. The money flow is controlled by the organisers, who are responsible for the money laundering. I thank the colleagues from the GDBOP for the well-done work in the exchange of information with the colleagues from DEA. This proves the importance and usefulness of the Bulgarian law-enforcement system and that the joint work after the opening of a DEA office gives serious results, Tsvetanov remarked.
The Specialised Prosecutors Office pressed charges on five of the detainees in the special police operation codenamed The Launderers, its press office announced.
Charges were brought on two of the participants in the organised crime group and on three of their accomplices. Two more people will be pressed charges, including groups organiser. At the moment they are outside the country and a procedure for their extradition was opened.
India's forex reserve dropped by $1.37-billion - Newstrack India
Amid continuously depreciating Indian currency 'Rupee' as international currency 'Dollar', India's foreign exchange reserve (forex) dropped by US $1.37-billion, official data reflects it.
India's forex reserve that was in an adequate amount earlier before beginning the devaluation of Rupee had sharply slipped in two consecutive weeks by US$ 2.18-billion to US $291.80-billion, recorded on week ended May 11.
Foreign currency assets, the biggest component of the forex reserves kitty, fell by $1.33 billion to $257.85 billion during the week under review, according to the Reserve Bank of India's weekly statistical supplement.
The RBI did not provide any reasons for the change in foreign currency assets.
It said the assets expressed in US dollar terms included the effect of appreciation or depreciation of non-US currencies such as the pound sterling, euro and yen held in reserve.
However, the RBI is understood to have sold dollars from the reserves to curb the slide in the value of rupee.
The Indian rupee slumped to a new intra-day low of 54.91 against a dollar Friday. This was the third consecutive record low of rupee in the last three days. The rupee had hit a low of 54.60 against a dollar Thursday, surpassing previous day's record of 54.52.
