The rupee ended at 74.49 compared with 74.36 close in the previous session.

Now the futures on the federal funds rate were pricing in a nearly-80% chance of a quarter percentage point hike by the central bank at its March meeting.

Meanwhile, a recovery of the crude oil prices from lows of morning’s trade also weighed on sentiments. Brent oil was trading above $82.00 level early Asian trade on Friday.
