Indian rupee ended higher against the U.S. dollar on Friday as the Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI’s) Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) has decided to Keep the policy repo rate under the liquidity adjustment facility (LAF) unchanged at 6.50 per cent for the seventh consecutive time. Consequently, the standing deposit facility (SDF) rate remains unchanged at 6.25 per cent and the marginal standing facility (MSF) rate and the Bank Rate at 6.75 per cent. On the global front, dollar firmed against peer currencies on Friday after rebounding from a two-week low, as traders braced for a key U.S. jobs report due later in the day and grew cautious over tensions in the Middle East. Safe-haven bids, along with fresh warnings from Japanese authorities, helped to buoy the yen, which briefly hit a two-week high against the greenback.
Finally, the rupee ended at 83.31 (Provisional), stronger by 8 paise from its previous close of 83.39 on Thursday. The currency touched a high and low of 83.45 and 83.26 respectively.
