Forex Market: Indian rupee rises against US dollar

Mumbai: The  Indian rupee recovered from its all-time low level against the US dollar on Thursday. The Indian currency is witnessing a  range-bound trade in early hours. According to forex traders, the rupee was trading in a narrow range as persistent foreign fund outflows, a muted trend in domestic equities and the strength of the American currency in the overseas market, dented investor sentiments.

Forex traders said RBI interventions will keep the USD/INR pair between 83.80 and 84.35. Moreover, the US Federal Reserve monetary policy and officials’ comments will be in focus to derive further momentum.
