Snapping the six-session losing streak, Indian rupee opened stronger against the greenback on Friday, following gains in some Asian peers. However, rupee trimmed some earlier gains in the late morning session amid sustained dollar demand from banks and exporters. Domestic unit has took some relief after finance minister P Chidambaram called for calm nerves and said there was no need to panic, further adding that the rupee is undervalued and has overshot the appropriate level. Meanwhile, positive local equity markets also supported the rupee to some extent.
The partially convertible currency is currently trading at 64.52, stronger by 3 paise from its previous close of 64.55 on Thursday. The currency has touched a high and low of 64.69 and 64.28 respectively.
