Indian rupee strengthened against the US dollar on Wednesday, supported by sharp drop in American currency and US Treasury yields after soft US inflation data, which raised hopes that the US Fed was done with rate hikes. Meanwhile, India's retail inflation declined to a 4-month low of 4.87% in October from 5.02% in September 2023. Although, Foreign Institutional Investors were net sellers in the capital market on Monday as they offloaded shares worth Rs 1,244.44 crore, exchange data showed.
