The beaten-down rupee today staged a good show by recuperating 10 paise to end at 68.60 against the US dollar in line with a stellar rally in domestic equities despite ongoing global trade war jitters.
The domestic unit yesterday plunged by 27 paise to hit a one-week low of 68.70.
Earlier, the rupee opened almost flat at 68.69 from overnight close of 68.70 at the Interbank Foreign Exchange (forex) market.
But, it eventually lost uptrend support and drifted sharply to hit an intra-day low of 68.84 in mid-afternoon deals.
The local unit, however, regained lost ground in the second half of the session owing to some fresh US dollar selling heading into the US labour market report due later today and managed to close at the session high of 68.60, showing a gain of 10 paise, or 0.15 per cent.
