Indian rupee strengthened against the dollar on Wednesday as persistent foreign capital inflows and fall in crude oil prices strengthened investor sentiment. Traders got some encouragement, as the growth momentum in India’s manufacturing sector is likely to have picked up in the September quarter and may sustain for the next six to nine months over rising capacity utilisation, according to the latest quarterly survey on Indian manufacturing sector by Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FICCI). The survey shows 61 per cent respondents reporting higher production level in September quarter compared to the same period a year ago as against 55 per cent respondents reporting higher output in June quarter of FY23. On the global front, dollar steadied near its weakest in two months against the euro on Wednesday as traders waited on results from U.S. elections and on inflation data this week that will guide expectations for the interest rate outlook.
Finally, the rupee ended at 81.47 (Provisional), stronger by 45 paisa from its previous close of 81.92 on Monday. The currency touched a high and low of 81.62 and 81.23 respectively.
