The rupee rose on Friday, after earlier hitting a three-week high against the dollar, on continued strong buying of debt and shares by foreign investors, while gains in emerging market currencies also contributed to the improved sentiment.
The rupee was also helped after analyst at Standard & Poor's calling the government's target to lower the fiscal deficit a positive for the country's ratings, helping the currency rise to a session's high.
The rupee put on 0.5 percent for the week, a third straight week of gains, as foreign funds turned active buyers of Indian assets, especially debt, despite lingering concerns in global markets including the prospect of earlier-than-expected U.S. rate hikes.
Foreign institutional investors bought debt worth $2.65 billion on Wednesday alone, which some traders called the biggest single-day buying on record. That took total inflows into the debt and sharemarket so far in 2014 to about $29 billion.
However, caution set in ahead of U.S. Federal Reserve Chairwoman Janet Yellen's speech at Jackson Hole, Wyoming, due on Friday.
Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen said Friday that the Great Recession complicated the Fed's ability to assess the US job market and made it harder to determine when to adjust interest rates.
The Fed chair noted that while the unemployment rate has steadily declined, other gauges of the job market have been harder to evaluate and may reflect continued weakness. These include high levels of people who have been unemployed for more than six months, many people working part time who would like full-time jobs and weak pay growth.
Yellen repeated language the Fed has used at its last meeting that record-low short-term rates will likely remain appropriate for a "considerable time" after the Fed stops buying bonds to keep long-term rates down. The Fed's bond buying is set to end this fall.
But Yellen said the Fed's rate decisions will be dictated by how the economy performs.
"Monetary policy is not on a preset course," she said. The Fed "will be closely monitoring incoming information on the labor market and inflation in determining the appropriate stance of monetary policy."
Yellen also suggested that pay gains, which have been sluggish since the recession ended five years ago, could rise faster without necessarily igniting inflation.
