The rupee closed at 93.91 per dollar on Friday, its strongest level since April, after a 56-paise daily gain and six consecutive sessions of advances. Falling crude prices and heavy foreign buying of Indian equities were cited as key supports; analysts also noted RBI dollar purchases and the prospect of a firmer dollar after US jobs data.
Rupee strength lowers the local cost of imported feed ingredients and fuel, while lower crude prices can ease energy and freight costs. These factors are bearish for USDINR and crude benchmarks.
