Indian rupee appreciated against the US dollar on Friday buoyed by a strong recovery in domestic equity markets. Traders took support as Ministry of Commerce & Industry in its latest release showed that India has achieved a remarkable milestone in its economic journey, with gross foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows reaching an impressive $1 trillion since April 2000, bolstered by a nearly 26% rise in FDI to $42.1 billion during the first half of the current fiscal year (H1 FY25) as against $33.5 billion in H1 FY24. On the global front, ringgit closed lower against the US dollar on Friday amid mounting cautious sentiment ahead of the Federal Open Market Committee’s (FOMC) meeting on December 17-18.
Finally, the rupee ended at 84.80 (Provisional), appreciated by 8 paise from its previous close of 84.88 on Thursday. The currency touched a high and low of 84.87 and 84.77 respectively.
