The rupee appreciated by 12 paise to 69.71 against the U.S. dollar in opening trade on may 30, driven by positive opening in domestic equities and weakening of the greenback in overseas markets.

The rupee opened strong at 69.76 at the interbank Forex market then gained further ground to touch 69.71 per dollar amid positive opening in domestic equities, displaying gains of 12 paise against the greenback.

On Wednesday, the Rupee had settled at 69.83 against the U.S. Dollar.

Forex dealers said, selling of the American currency by exporters supported the rupee. However, rising crude



oil prices and foreign fund outflows weighed on the domestic currency.
