Mumbai, March 28: The rupee on Friday improved further by 2.50 paise to 40.07/08 against the US currency in late morning trade due to sustained capital inflows amid weak dollar overseas.

The dollar, which gained against its major currencies on Thursday in New York, weakened against key rivals in Asian trade today on sustained worries over the widening damage to financial firms from the credit crisis.
