Indian rupee appreciated against the dollar on Thursday as crude oil price receded from its elevated level. Traders got support as NITI Aayog member Arvind Virmani has expressed optimism over economic condition of India and said that the country’s economy will grow at around 6.5 per cent in the current fiscal (FY24). He also asserted that the gross household savings ratio in India has consistently gone up. On the global front, the pound extended losses on Thursday after the Bank of England held interest rates steady at 5.25% as inflation slowed more than expected in August. Besides, dollar hit high on Thursday after the U.S. Federal Reserve signalled policy would remain restrictive for longer, even after holding rates steady, while the Swiss franc tumbled after the Swiss National Bank kept rates unchanged.
Finally, the rupee ended at 83.06 (Provisional), stronger by 5 paise from its previous close of 83.11 on Wednesday. The currency touched a high and low of 83.17 and 83.02 respectively.
