The local unit opened at 95.58 on Friday and traded in the range of 95.47 and 95.25. A weaker dollar index at 100.7 on Friday, from 101.2 earlier, also helped boost the rupee.

"There seems to be a shift in strategy by the RBI, where it is intervening even as the rupee is strengthening, which further boosts the currency. Additionally, inflows in stocks and bonds also helped," said Ritesh Bhansali, deputy CEO, Mecklai Financial Services. He expects the rupee to have good support between 95.20 and 94.80, and further gains from these levels will require oil prices to go back to around $75 per barrel.
