> 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.
