Indian rupee settled higher on Thursday on the back of softening American currency as well as crude oil prices in the overseas market. Investors’ took support with Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman’s statement that S&P Global Ratings' revision of its outlook on India from 'stable' to 'positive' is a welcome development. She said this reflects India's solid growth performance and a promising economic outlook for the coming years. The minister noted that it has been possible due to the series of macroeconomic reforms undertaken since 2014, along with substantial outlay for capex, fiscal discipline, and decisive and visionary leadership. On the global front, the dollar soared to a two-week high against its major peers on Thursday, as a rout in Treasuries improved the currency's allure due to both higher U.S. yields and demand for safe haven assets.
Finally, the rupee ended at 83.30 (Provisional), stronger by 10 paise from its previous close of 83.40 on Wednesday. The currency touched a high and low of 83.44 and 83.26 respectively.
