The Indian rupee appreciated against the US dollar to close at a four-week high due to sustained selling of dollars by exporters and banks as well as robust capital inflows, while the US unemployment claims fell and the German trade balance saw a surplus. Technical analyses indicate bearish trends for USDINR, JPYINR and EURINR but a bullish trend for GBPINR in the coming sessions. Major economic indicators from Germany, the US and Japan are expected to impact the respective currencies.
