Rupee drops by 7 closes unchanged at 95.96 against US dollar

Reversing its early gains, the rupee closed lower by 7 paise at 95.96 against the US dollar on Friday amid a strong American currency and high crude oil prices.

Positive momentum in domestic equity markets and forex inflows, however, capped losses in the Indian currency, forex traders said.

At the interbank foreign exchange market, the rupee opened at 95.75 and touched the intraday high of 95.71 in the first half. Later, the rupee came under pressure, closing at the day's low of 95.96 against the greenback, down by 7 paise from the previous closing level.
