It domestic currency witnessed volatility and moved in a wide range between 69.65 and 70.00 during morning deals, the rupee was trading at 69.88 at 1030 hrs. Higher local equities lent some support to the rupee, a dealer said.
Overseas, the US dollar’s safe-haven appeal faded against a basket currencies in early Asian trade, after risk sentiment in the broader markets picked up following the speech from Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell.
