Indian rupee ended higher against the U.S. dollar on Friday, tracking robust buying in domestic equity markets and weak American currency overseas. Traders got encouragement after Reserve Bank of India Governor Shaktikanta Das said slowing global growth is reason for concern, a cause of worry but India is better placed to deal with various geopolitical challenges. Meanwhile, the government approved an outlay of Rs 235 crore for revamped Scheme for Administrative Reforms of Department of Administrative Reforms and Public Grievances (DARPG) to be implemented in next two years (2024-25 and 2025-26) of the 15th Finance Commission Cycle. On the global front, the dollar was on track to rise for a second straight week on Friday as signs of resilience in the U.S. economy and pushback from central bankers has caused traders to dial down expectations of swift and sharp falls in interest rates.
Finally, the rupee ended at 83.07 (Provisional), stronger by 6 paise from its previous close of 83.13 on Thursday. The currency touched a high and low of 83.16 and 83.05 respectively.
