Indian rupee appreciated marginally against the US dollar on Thursday tracking a weak American currency against major rivals overseas. A weak trend in domestic equity markets and rising crude oil prices kept the movement of the domestic currency restricted. Traders took support with Reserve Bank of India Governor Shaktikanta Das’ statement that consumer price index-based inflation, the main yardstick for the Reserve Bank of India’s policy making, is likely to average 4.5 per cent in the next financial year and gross domestic product (GDP) growth is likely to stay above 7 per cent. On the global front, the dollar hovered near a five-week peak against major peers on Thursday after robust U.S. retail sales data added to expectations the Federal Reserve will not rush to lower interest rates.
Finally, the rupee ended at 83.13 (Provisional), stronger by 1 paisa from its previous close of 83.14 on Wednesday. The currency touched a high and low of 83.18 and 83.10 respectively.
