Mumbai, India (BBN) - Indian rupee gained 25 paisa to 64.48 against the dollar Thursday on increased selling of the American currency by exporters and banks amid higher opening in the domestic equity markets.
Forex dealers said besides selling of the dollar, its weakness against other currencies after the Federal Reserve dialled down on some of the more hawkish policy expectations supported the rupee, repots the PTI.
Further, fresh foreign fund inflows and a higher opening in the domestic equity markets added to the momentum, they added.
Yesterday, the local currency had staged a strong comeback by surging 16 paise to end at 64.73 against the US dollar.
Meanwhile, the benchmark BSE Sensex was up 122.99 points, or 0.40 per cent, to 30,424.63 in early trade.
