Rupee Gains 3 Paise To Settle At 83.11 Against US Dollar

Rising for the third straight session, the rupee appreciated 3 paise to close at 83.11 (provisional) against the US dollar on Tuesday, tracking positive equity market and foreign fund inflows.

Crude oil prices hovering around USD 77 per barrel and recent weakness in the US dollar also supported the domestic unit, forex traders said.

At the interbank foreign exchange market, the local unit opened strong at 83.07 and traded between the peak of 83.04 and the lowest level of 83.13 against the greenback during the session.

It finally settled at 83.11 (provisional) against the dollar, registering a gain of 3 paise from its previous close.

Analysts said investors will keep a close watch on domestic inflation numbers as well as the data from the US to be released later this week.

Meanwhile, the dollar index, which gauges the greenback’s strength against a basket of six currencies, was trading 0.17 per cent higher at 102.10 on Tuesday.

Brent crude futures, the global oil benchmark, rose 1.50 per cent to USD 77.26 per barrel.
