It opened lower by 7 paise at 70.95 per dollar against previous close 70.88.
The rupee strengthened by 16 paise to close at 70.88 against the US dollar on Thursday as investor sentiment got a lift after US President Donald Trump said a trade deal with China could happen sooner than expected, said PTI.
