Indian rupee settled marginally lower against dollar on Friday on account of buying in American currency by banks and importers. Traders remained cautious with exchange data showing that Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) continued to be net sellers in the capital markets as they offloaded equities worth Rs 1,261.19 crore on Thursday. Some concern also came as a survey showed India’s services sector activity grew at the slowest pace in the last seven months in October. The S&P Global India Services Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) fell to 58.4 last month from September's 61.0. However, positive trend in local equity markets supported the rupee. On the global front, dollar eased on Friday as traders wagered that the U.S. Federal Reserve was most likely done with rate increases, lifting risk sentiment.
Finally, the rupee ended at 83.28 (Provisional), weaker by 6 paise from its previous close of 83.22 on Thursday. The currency touched a high and low of 83.29 and 83.22 respectively.
