The rupee appreciated by 19 paise to Rs 44.01 per dollar at the Interbank Foreign Exchange market today, supported by steady capital inflows and a higher opening in the stock market.
Firmness in other Asian currencies against the American unit also supported the Indian rupee.
The domestic unit had depreciated by 3 paise to close at Rs 44.20/21 against the US currency on Thursday due to weakness in equities amid dollar demand from importers.
