The rupee gained 5 paise to 82.67 against the US dollar in Friday’s early trade, supported by foreign fund inflows and a positive trend in domestic equities. However, the dollar index has strengthened over the 104 level due to the safe-haven appeal. Meanwhile, the DXY is expected to move towards 105-105.50 levels in the coming days, causing developed and emerging market currencies to become vulnerable. The FIIs were net buyers in the capital market on Thursday as they bought shares worth Rs 589.10 crore.
