Rupee opens 9 paise higher at 71.15 against US dollar
Foreign funds pulled out Rs 90.10 crore from the capital markets on a net basis, while domestic institutional investors purchased shares worth Rs 304.27 crore Wednesday, provisional data showed.

The rupee appreciated by 9 paise to 71.15 against the US dollar in opening trade Thursday, driven by positive opening in domestic equities and weakening greenback in overseas markets. The rupee gained further ground and touched a high of 71.13 amid easing crude prices, displaying gains of 11 paise over its previous close against the greenback.
The rupee Wednesday plunged by 19 paise to close at 71.24 against the US dollar.
Forex dealers said, easing crude oil prices and selling of the American currency by exporters supported the rupee.
