Indian rupee appreciated against the US dollar on Wednesday supported by a volatile greenback and the Reserve Bank's decision to hold interest rate steady. Traders took support as the Reserve Bank of India gave good growth guidance at its policy meeting. The central bank has retained the GDP growth forecast at 6.5% for fiscal year 2025-26, despite Trump’s US tariffs. It said the inflation outlook is favourable and is revised downwards to 3.1% vs 3.7% earlier for FY26. On the global front, commodity currencies such as Australia, the New Zealand and the Canadian dollars strengthened against their major peers in the Asian session on Wednesday, as Asian markets traded higher after Trump hailed his ‘good relationship’ with his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping, adding that a deal with China was taking shape.
Finally, the rupee ended at 87.72 (Provisional), appreciated by 16 paise from its previous close of 87.88 on Tuesday. The currency touched a high and low of 87.80 and 87.63 respectively.
