Indian rupee appreciated marginally against the US dollar on Thursday, helped by a bullish trend in domestic equities and weakness of the American currency in the oversea market. Traders took support with India Ratings and Research’s report where it upped India’s GDP growth estimate for current fiscal to 6.7 per cent, from 6.2 per cent, citing resilient economy, sustained government capex and prospect of a new private corporate capex cycle. Some optimism also came with Fitch Ratings’ report stating that the economic growth in Asia Pacific will remain strong in 2024 and GDP is expected to grow by about 5 per cent in India and a host of emerging market countries. However, rising crude oil prices capped sharp gains for the local unit. On the global front, the dollar fell on Thursday, after rising to an almost three week high a day earlier, with minutes of the Federal Reserve's last meeting providing few clues on when the United States might start cutting interest rates.
Finally, the rupee ended at 83.24 (Provisional), stronger by 6 paise from its previous close of 83.30 on Wednesday. The currency touched a high and low of 83.32 and 83.21 respectively.
