The rupee gained 8 paise to close at a fresh five-week high of 70.69 against the US dollar on Tuesday, following foreign fund inflows and gains in Asian peers after the Chinese central bank cut interest rates.
The rupee opened lower at 70.80 per US dollar, compared to the previous close of 70.77 at the interbank foreign exchange market. Later, it recovered some lost ground and moved in a range of 70.65 and 70.81 in afternoon trade before concluding at 70.69, showing a rise of 8 paise.
