Global update

Rupee dips 4 paise

The rupee traded in a narrow range and settled lower by 4 paise at 83.94 (provisional) against the American currency on Thursday, as relentless dollar demand from importers and relentless foreign fund outflows dampened investor sentiments. However, a positive trend in domestic equities and lower global crude oil prices supported the domestic currency and restricted its fall, forex traders said.

At the interbank foreign exchange market, the local unit opened weak at 83.93 and touched an intraday low of 83.97 against the US dollar.

The domestic currency finally settled at 83.94 (provisional), 4 paise lower from its previous close. On Wednesday, the rupee fell 13 paise to 83.90 against the US dollar.
