Mumbai: At the interbank foreign exchange market, the local unit opened at 82.88 and touched the intra-day low of 82.94.
The rupee on Thursday settled flat at 82.91 (provisional) against the U.S. dollar, as the support from lower crude oil prices and a weak greenback against major crosses overseas was offset by sustained foreign capital outflows.
Besides, a positive trend in equity markets provided a cushion to the domestic unit, forex traders said.
