Anuj Choudhary, Research Analyst, Sharekhan by BNP Paribas, said the Indian rupee appreciated on Thursday on weak US dollar and positive domestic markets, while FII inflows also supported the rupee.
Meanwhile, the dollar index, which gauges the greenback’s strength against a basket of six currencies, declined 0.13 per cent to 103.18.
Choudhary said the US dollar declined after Federal Reserve chief Jerome Powell indicated cautious monetary policy moves and that the US central bank expects to cut interest rates later this year.
“Disappointing economic data from the US also weighed on the dollar.” Upcoming reports on weekly unemployment claims in the US and the country’s trade data are expected to influence the investors’ move.
“We expect the rupee to trade with a positive bias on weak US dollar and positive tone in the domestic markets. However, weak Asian and European markets and concerns over global economic slowdown may cap the sharp upside,” Choudhary said, adding that “USD-INR spot price is expected to trade in a range of Rs 82.50 to Rs 83”.
