Mumbai: The Indian rupee gained against US dollar in early trade on Friday. The weakening of the US dollar and positive trend in the Indian equity markets supported the upward rally of the Indian currency. But, massive selling of equities by foreign investors and an upward trend in crude oil prices capped the rise of domestic currency.
At the interbank foreign exchange, the Indian currency opened strong at 83.13 against the US dollar. It later traded at 83.10 against the US dollar, registering a gain of 9 paise from its previous close. On Thursday, the Indian rupee settled 3 paise higher at 83.19.
