After facing a decline in value for consecutive days, the local currency has started to gain strength against the US dollar. The greenback lost 84 paise and dropped to Rs238 in the interbank market. Yesterday, the dollar closed at Rs238.84.
Since Friday, the rupee has gained Rs2 after a constant drop from July 16.
