The Indian rupee strengthened against the greenback on Thursday, as both the dollar index and crude oil prices fell.
The local currency strengthened by 3 paise to close at Rs 83.50 and opened flat at Rs 83.54 against the dollar, according to Cogencis. It had closed at Rs 83.53 on Wednesday.
"Stronger fundamentals, robust inflows, and equity markets at an all-time high are clashing with temporary external pressures. As these external factors dissipate, the Indian rupee is poised to gain strength," said Amit Pabari, managing director of CR Forex Advisors.
