Rupee ends marginally higher against dollar on Friday

26 Sep 2025 Evaluate

Indian rupee ended marginally higher against the U.S. dollar on Friday, tracking a weak greenback against major currencies overseas and a drop in global crude oil prices. Hopes of a breakthrough in the India-US trade talks supported the domestic currency. Traders took some support with Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman’s statement that India's resilience stands out due to its strong macroeconomic fundamentals amid increasing global uncertainties. However, unabated foreign capital outflows and risk-off sentiment in the domestic equity market prevented a rise in the local unit. Foreign Institutional Investors offloaded equities worth Rs 4,995.42 crore on Thursday, according to exchange data. On the global front, the dollar was steady against the euro and sterling on Friday, as investors awaited U.S. consumer spending data after better-than-expected growth numbers dampened expectations of further easing by the Federal Reserve this year. 

Finally, the rupee ended at 88.73 (Provisional), appreciated by 3 paise from its previous close of 88.76 on Thursday. The currency touched a high and low of 88.74 and 88.67 respectively.
