The rupee managed to end 5 paise higher at 73.48 to the US dollar after a see-saw session on Monday as weaker American currency against key rivals and easing crude oil prices led to a positive sentiment.
After opening higher at 73.40 a dollar, the domestic currency swung between a high of 73.26 and a low of 73.70. It finally settled at 73.48, edging up by 5 paise against the greenback.
The dollar index, which gauges the greenback’s strength against a basket of six currencies, was trading 0.30 per cent lower at 93.05.
Brent crude futures, the global oil benchmark, fell 0.83 per cent to USD 39.50 per barrel.
