The rupee showing its muscles on expectations of improving inflows, recovered 25 paisa against dollar for buying at 81.45 and it also gained 20 paisa for selling at 81.55 in the interbank market on Friday, currency experts said. The rupee may improve further in terms of dollar in days to come, they said.
Amid final Asian session yen rose against dollar and euro as a drop in Tokyo share prices renewed investor concern over riskier assets, while players cautiously awaited the Bank of Japan's policy decision due later in the day.
The weakness in stocks reflected gloomy prospects for the world's economies despite global interest rate cuts -- prospects, which weighed on high-yielding currencies, traders said.
