Rupee opens at 66.48 against US Dollar

On global front, US stock indices tumbled on Thursday, as investors continued to react to weaker-than-estimated corporate earnings and disappointing economic data. 

The Indian rupee opened higher by 3 paise at 66.48/$ against US Dollar on Friday as against the previous close of 66.52/$.

On global front, US stock indices tumbled on Thursday, as investors continued to react to weaker-than-estimated corporate earnings and disappointing economic data.

Sentiment further weakened on news that US gross domestic product (GDP) grew by only 0.5% in the first quarter, its slowest pace in two years. Economists had projected 0.7% expansion.

Asia markets opened lower on the final trading day of the week, following a nearly 1 percent or more decline in US equities overnight.

On Thursday, Indian rupee closed lower due to heavy capital outflows from the domestic equity market.
