Indian rupee appreciated against the US dollar on Monday supported by strong domestic equity markets. Traders largely overlooked the government data showing that India’s industrial production turned negative as it contracted by 0.1 per cent in August, mainly due to a decline in the mining and power generation sectors’ output, in addition to an almost flat expansion in the manufacturing sector. Besides, India’s wholesale inflation accelerated to 1.84 per cent in September on an annual basis, as against 1.31 per cent in August due to surge in food prices. On the global front, the pound held near a one-month low against the dollar on Monday ahead of wage growth and inflation data this week that could help shape the Bank of England's next move at its policy review meeting next month.
Finally, the rupee ended at 84.05 (Provisional), appreciate by 5 paise from its previous close of 84.10 on Friday. The currency touched a high and low of 84.07 and 84.05 respectively.
