News, Business

Mumbai: The rupee rose by 17 paise to 64.95 against the US dollar in opening trade today on mild selling of the greenback by exporters and a higher opening in the domestic equity market.

Meanwhile, the dollar gained against most major global currencies as concerns over a global trade war eased after investors saw Trump s proposed tariffs as more of a negotiating tactic than a hard policy proposal.
