Mumbai, July 9 (IANS) The rupee Wednesday strengthened to Rs.43.12/13 against the US dollar after a plunge in crude prices and rise in Indian equity markets, giving hope of capital inflows into the bourses.
The rupee ended at 43.24/25 the previous day.
In the Asian markets, crude oil was traded around $138 a barrel, after touching a high of $148 in the previous week.
Forex dealers said the rupee drew support from foreign non-banking financial companies (NBFC).
Navin Raghuvanshi, associate vice-president, Treasury and Financial Institutions Group, Development Credit Bank, told IANS: 'Apart from dip in crude oil prices and surge in stocks, many foreign NBFCs, which trade in India, sold their non-deliverable forwards (NDF) positions Wednesday, which weakened the dollar.'
