Mumbai, India (BBN) – Indian rupee was trading strong at 65.36 against the dollar in the mid-session on fresh selling of the US currency by exporters and banks.
According to forex dealers, dollar's weakness against other currencies overseas and selling of the US currency by exporters and banks supported the Indian rupee, reports The Hindu Business Line quoting PTI.
