Rupee settled higher against dollar on Thursday as the American currency retreated from its elevated levels after the US Federal Reserve was a bit dovish in its policy meeting. Local unit got support from positive domestic equity markets. Sentiments got boost as India's goods and services tax (GST) collections in October grew 13 per cent over a year earlier to Rs 1.72 trillion, mainly on account of stricter anti-evasion measures and higher festival-season consumer spending. The highest-ever revenue from GST was recorded in April 2023 at Rs 1.87 lakh crore, while in September, it was Rs 1.63 lakh crore. On the global front, the pound edged higher on Thursday ahead of an interest rate decision from the Bank of England, while the dollar fell after the U.S. Federal Reserve held borrowing costs steady on Wednesday.
Finally, the rupee ended at 83.26 (Provisional), stronger by 2 paise from its previous close of 83.28 on Wednesday. The currency touched a high and low of 83.27 and 83.19 respectively.
