Indian rupee appreciated against the dollar on Thursday as domestic equity benchmarks scaling all-time high levels and weakness in the American currency overseas boosted investor sentiments. Besides, steady foreign fund inflows into domestic capital markets also supported the local unit. Traders got encouragement, as the Asian Development Bank (ADB) in its latest forecast has maintained the growth outlook for developing economies in Asia and the Pacific at 4.8 per cent for 2023, and noted robust domestic demand continues to support the region’s recovery. According to the Asian Development Outlook (ADO) July 2023, ADB forecasted that inflation in the region is expected to fall continuously, approaching pre-pandemic levels as fuel and food prices decline. On the global front, dollar held mostly steady against the euro and the yen on Thursday, but dropped against the Australian dollar after domestic job data beat expectations, and against the yuan, which received a lift from Chinese monetary authorities.
Finally, the rupee ended at 81.96 (Provisional), stronger by 12 paise from its previous close of 82.08 on Wednesday. The currency touched a high and low of 82.05 and 81.92 respectively.
