Indian rupee appreciated marginally against the US dollar on Thursday as the support from weak American currency overseas was negated by rising crude oil prices. Investors got support after CareEdge Ratings’ report stating that the Indian Rupee is expected to appreciate to around 82 against the Dollar in the calendar year 2024 on the back of a softening dollar, robust Foreign Portfolio Investment (FPI) inflows, and a comfortable current account deficit. Meanwhile, India Meteorological Department’s (IMD) statement that it expects the persisting El Nino conditions to turn ‘neutral’ prior to the start of monsoon season in June. Neutral El Nino conditions imply that it would not have an adverse impact on the monsoon rains next season. On the global front, the dollar was broadly steady on Thursday, as investors await GDP and other data this week to gauge where U.S. rates are headed, while the euro was soft ahead of the European Central Bank's policy meeting later in the day.
Finally, the rupee ended at 83.11 (Provisional), stronger by 1 paisa from its previous close of 83.12 on Wednesday. The currency touched a high and low of 83.14 and 83.08 respectively.
