Mumbai, August 7, 2024: The rupee appreciated by 6 paise to 83.86 against the USD in the opening trade on Wednesday, driven by the selling of US dollars by bankers and exporters, as reported by foreign exchange dealers. This marks another session of gains for the domestic currency, which has been buoyed by a combination of a weaker dollar against other world currencies and a rebounding equity market in early trade.
The rupee showcased its strength as it recorded intraday highs and lows at 83.84 and 83.92, respectively. Dealers attributed the rupee’s performance to favorable market conditions, including positive sentiment from equity markets and global currency movements that have seen the US dollar weaken.
This consistent appreciation of the rupee highlights the underlying confidence in the domestic economy and the broader financial market dynamics. The combination of a weaker dollar, robust equity markets, and strategic selling by bankers and exporters has created an environment conducive to the rupee’s strength. The domestic unit’s recent performance reflects a resilient market outlook and indicates ongoing positive economic indicators contributing to its sustained appreciation against the US dollar.
