Steady day expected


Indian rupee bounced back and closes at an almost two month high of 61.39 against the dollar amid sales of the US currency. According to a survey by industry body Ficci, it has lowered the country's economic growth forecast for 2013-14 to 5% from 6% projected in July, indicating tough times ahead. The GDP growth forecast for 2013-14 stands at 5%. The survey further revealed that expectations with regard to performance of the industrial sector have also taken a hit. The Index of Industrial Production (IIP) is expected to grow by 1.7% in 2013-14, which is half the 3.5%t growth that was projected in the previous round of the survey held in July 2013.
