INR Recovered 8 Paise against the USD

The foreign exchange market on Friday showed that the Indian Rupee had moved towards the recovery trend versus the US dollar. It reportedly made a recovery of 8 paise versus the USD. Following the recovery, the USD is now trading at a price of 79.91 on the Indian foreign exchange market.

Prior to the change, the INR was trading at 79.99 versus the USD. This is a positive sign for the INR as it has made a significant recovery against the USD.

The reason behind the rise in the value of INR versus the USD is based on two major factors. The first factor is the constant weakening of the USD in the global markets. The second factor is the domestic equities carrying out heavy buying.

Another reason that can be attributed to the rise in the INR’s value is the inflow of capital from fresh foreign markets. It has also supported the trading value of the INR to rise against the USD.
