Mumbai: The rupee strengthened by 10 paise
to 64.91 against the US dollar at the interbank forex market today
on sustained selling of the greenback by exporters and banks amid
foreign capital inflows.
Dealers said dollar's weakness against a basket of
currencies supported the domestic unit.
On Friday, the rupee had
gained 10 paise to end at 65.01 against the US currency which suffered
losses in global markets on intensifying trade war worries.
Meanwhile, the benchmark BSE Sensex fell by 60.10
points, or 0.18 per cent, to 32,536.44 in opening trade today.
According to the provisional exchange data, foreign
investors bought shares worth Rs 1,628.19 crore on a net basis
on Friday.
