The Indian rupee pared most of an early fall to one-week lows on Friday, recovering on expectations of continued capital inflows after the Group of 20 leaders said stimulus measures would continue until recovery was secured. The partially convertible rupee ended at 47.97/98 per dollar, off an early low of 48.31, its weakest since September 16.
The rupee had ended at 47.95/96 on Thursday. It touched an intraday high 47.92 during the session. "The assurances at G20 was a respite for the rupee, which had remained pressured by volatile stocks," said a senior dealer with a foreign bank. In the currency futures market the most traded near-month contracts were at 48.09 on the National Stock Exchange and 48.0850 on MCX-SX, compared with Thursday's close of 48.0850.
