The domestic unit opened sharply higher at 69.75 against last Friday’s closing level of 69.91 a dollar at the interbank foreign exchange market here.
It domestic currency witnessed volatility and moved in a wide range between 69.65 and 70.00 during morning deals, the rupee was trading at 69.88 at 1030 hrs. Higher local equities lent some support to the rupee, a dealer said.
Overseas, the US dollar’s safe-haven appeal faded against a basket currencies in early Asian trade, after risk sentiment in the broader markets picked up following the speech from Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell.
Meanwhile, the 30-share BSE Sensex is trading higher by 348.00 points, or 0.91 per cent, at 38,599.380 at 1040 hrs.
