Indian rupee was trading strong for third consecutive session on Friday, tailing massive gains of local equities, while strength of other Asian currencies against dollar also was aiding the sentiment. Besides, sustained dollar sales by corporate and exporters amidst sustained capital inflows also added to the optimistic milieu. On the global front, euro wallowed near a nine-year low on Friday on growing expectations the European Central Bank will embark on quantitative easing, while the dollar held firm before U.S. jobs data that could cement the case for a rate hike by the Federal Reserve.
The partially convertible currency is currently trading at 62.34, weaker by 34 paise from its previous close of 62.68 on Thursday. The currency touched a high and low of 62.53 and 62.29 respectively.
