According to forex dealers, foreign investors have injected over USD 2 billion into Indian equities over the past four days, while month-to-date inflows into Indian bonds have surpassed USD 3 billion. However, the local currency's sharp appreciation remained limited as investors weighed the potential economic impact of rising global trade concerns.
Forex traders noted that the weakening of the American currency in global markets and falling crude oil prices boosted investor sentiment. On the interbank foreign exchange market, the rupee opened at 83.88 against the dollar, then strengthened to 83.84, marking an 11 paise gain from its previous close.
