Indian rupee pared some of their initial gains but managed to end higher against the US dollar on Friday, backed by sustained inflow of foreign capital and softening crude oil prices overseas. Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) were net buyers in the capital markets on Thursday as they purchased shares worth Rs 415.30 crore, according to exchange data. Traders took support with report stating that the headline HSBC Flash India Composite Output Index - a seasonally adjusted index that measures the month-on-month change in the combined output of India's manufacturing and service sectors - increased from 60.5 in May to 60.9 in June. However, the local unit faced resistance due to strengthening American currency and subdued sentiment in the domestic equity markets. On the global front, the dollar continued edging higher on Friday as markets awaited U.S. business surveys for clues to determine whether the world's largest economy remains strong enough to withstand high interest rates.
Finally, the rupee ended at 83.57 (Provisional), stronger by 4 paise from its previous close of 83.61 on Thursday. The currency touched a high and low of 83.63 and 83.49 respectively.
