Indian rupee appreciated against the dollar on Thursday tracking the weakness of the American currency in the overseas market after the US Fed raised interest rates on expected lines. Traders took some support with a private report stating that private sector banks reported a robust 37.0 per cent year-on-year (YOY) growth in net profit to Rs 37,683 crore in the first quarter ended June 2023 on healthy growth in net interest income (NII) and strong credit offtake. Meanwhile, Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has permitted 20 banks operating in the country to open 92 Special Rupee Vostro Accounts (SRVAs) of partner banks from 22 countries including Bangladesh, Belarus, Botswana, Fiji, Germany, Guyana and Israel, as part of efforts to promote bilateral trade in local currencies. On the global front, sterling rose against a weakening dollar on Thursday after the U.S. central bank raised the cost of borrowing again, while it fell against a strengthening euro ahead of the outcome of the European Central Bank's (ECB) latest meeting.
Finally, the rupee ended at 81.94 (Provisional), stronger by 7 paise from its previous close of 82.01 on Wednesday. The currency touched a high and low of 82.03 and 81.91 respectively.
