The ongoing currency turmoil in Turkey has dampened investors' sentiments globally. Investors are turning to dollar as safe haven with Turkey's currency lira crisis continuing since the last week. This has also hit the Indian rupee which yesterday touched a historic low. In the opening trade today at the interbank foreign exchange market it recovered but again collapsed.

The rupee recovered from all-time low of 69.91 and strengthened by 23 paise to 69.68 against the US dollar in opening trade at the interbank foreign exchange market today on some macroeconomic boost.
