MUMBAI: The rupee rose 26 paise to close at 85.68 (provisional) against the US dollar on Tuesday on the back of a decline in global crude oil prices and a weaker greenback.
Foreign fund inflows and firm domestic equity markets further boosted the rupee, according to forex traders.
At the interbank foreign exchange, the rupee opened at 85.75 against the US dollar and traded in a narrow range of 85.64-85.80 before settling at 85.68 (provisional), up 26 paise from the previous close.
