22-03-2025 12:00:00 AM

Rising for the sixth straight session, the rupee appreciated 38 paise to close at 85.98 against the US dollar on Friday on a sharp rise in the domestic equity markets and fresh foreign capital inflows.

The Indian rupee posted its best day against the dollar in more than a month on the back of dollar inflows and an unwinding of speculative long-dollar positions, which also helped it log its best week in more than two years.

The rupee ended Friday’s session at 85.98. This is the sixth straight session of gain for the rupee, during which it has added 123 paise.
