Mumbai News LIVE Updates: Rupee pares initial gains, settles 1 paisa higher at 84.53 against US dollar
The rupee hit a seven-month high on Friday, briefly breaching the 84-per-dollar mark to touch an intra-day high of 83.76 due to strong foreign fund inflows and robust domestic economic data. However, it pared gains and ended the session marginally higher by 1 paisa at 84.53. Positive factors included record-high GST collections of Rs 2.37 lakh crore in April and a strong manufacturing PMI of 58.2, the highest in 10 months. Analysts cited lower crude oil prices, weak U.S. data, and continued FII inflows as supportive of the rupee, but cautioned that geopolitical tensions could reverse gains. Meanwhile, equity markets ended higher and the dollar index fell. (PTI)&nbsp;
