India, Oct. 16 -- The Indian rupee strengthened by 20 paise to 94.79 against the US dollar during early trading on Friday, supported by a weakening greenback and the positive effects of structural foreign exchange interventions by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI).

A decline in US Treasury yields also provided support to the domestic currency.

However, persistently high crude oil prices and weakness in the domestic equity market limited the rupee's gains.
