INR had soared last week after breaking under 83 per US dollar mark despite firm US dollar amid a volatile spell of movement. The INR is currently quoting at 82.60 per US dollar, up 4 paise on the day. The local currency had hit a three week high of 82.41 per dollar in last week and the current upmove seems to be driven by a slightly firm undertone in the minutes of the latest RBI monetary policy statement. The US dollar index is holding under 104 mark now as risk appetite picks up and caps advances in the index.
