Indian rupee is trading near to day's low at 70.14 per dollar, down 44 paise against Thursday's close 69.70.

Yesterday the rupee ended at the highest level against the US dollar since November 30 as crude oil price plunged to the lowest level over a year. It gained 70 paise against Wednesday's close of 70.40 per dollar.

Rupee gained sharply against the US dollar following broader weakness in the dollar and plunge in global crude oil prices. Gains in the rupee were triggered after the Federal Reserve in its policy statement mentioned that rate hike in the coming year could be restricted to two compared to earlier estimates of three rate hikes next year, said Motilal Oswal.
