The Indian rupee extended its recovery for the second consecutive session and closed higher by 13 paise at 86.40 (provisional) against the US dollar on Wednesday. The domestic currency followed favourable indicators from domestic markets and was backed by the relaxation in crude oil prices.

 Anuj Choudhary, Research Analyst, Mirae Asset Sharekhan, noted, "The rupee gained for the second consecutive session on weak US dollar and soft US 10-year treasury yields. A pullback in the domestic equities and overnight decline in crude oil prices also favoured the rupee. However, FII outflows capped sharp gains. Going ahead, the US inflation is expected to remain elevated and it may lead to a recovery in the US dollar, which is likely to put pressure on the rupee. Traders may take cues from CPI data from US and speeches from various Fed speakers today. USD-INR spot price is expected to trade in a range of Rs 86.25 to Rs 86.65."
