Rupee strengthens 8 paise to 83.26 against US dollar on FII buying & weak dollar index.
The rupee appreciated 8 paise to 83.26 against the U.S. dollar on Thursday, tracking a weak American currency against major overseas rivals and positive cues from domestic equity markets.
According to forex traders, the Indian currency strengthened on the back of massive equity buying by Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs). However, volatility in crude oil prices resisted a sharp gain in the Indian currency.
At the interbank foreign exchange, the domestic currency opened at 83.33 and gained further to 83.26 against greenback, registering a rise of 8 paise from its previous close.
On Wednesday, the domestic currency settled at 83.34 against the dollar.
Meanwhile, the dollar index, which gauges the greenback's strength against a basket of six currencies, was trading lower by 0.17% at 100.48 on Thursday.
