Rupee strengthens against US dollar on Friday
Indian rupee marginally strengthens against the US dollar on Friday, whetted by the stronger domestic buying in the stock market and larger foreign inflows.

On the global front, elevated US inflation rates compared to January figure also weighed on the greenback.
