The rupee is expected to open in the 95.04-95.08 range, according to traders, after settling at 95.1175 per U.S. dollar on Wednesday.
Volatility in oil prices added another layer of pressure on the rupee, which has now recovered about 1.7% from its recent lows.
Diminishing odds of a Fed rate hike next month, along with optimism surrounding a potential U.S.-Iran deal, weighed on the dollar.
Lower oil prices and soft U.S. private employment data prompted traders to scale back expectations of a Fed rate increase in September.
The implied probability of a September hike stood at 55%, down from nearly 70% at the start of the week.
