Indian rupee pared its early losses and was trading modestly stronger against the dollar on Friday, on bouts of dollar selling from banks and exporters. Rupee improved further on easing concerns over foreign fund outflows and narrowing of the country's current account deficit (CAD). Report showed that country’s CAD narrowed to $ 0.3 billion, or 0.1 percent of GDP, in the first quarter of 2016-17, significantly lower than $ 6.1 billion or 1.2 percent of GDP in Q1 of 2015-16, on account of lower trade gap. On the global front, the dollar gained in Asian trading on Friday but was on track to end a tumultuous week with losses after the Federal Reserve trimmed its long-term interest rate expectations and the Bank of Japan rebooted its monetary policy framework.
The partially convertible currency is currently trading at 66.65, stronger by 2 paise from its previous close of 66.67 on Thursday.
