Rupee Opens :
The Indian rupee opened lower at 71.26 per dollar on Thursday versus Wednesday's close 71.22.
Yesterday, rupee came under pressure for the second successive sessions after tensions flared between Indian and Pakistan border. Uncertainty following the uncertainty could continue to keep market participants on the edge.
On the domestic front, investors will be keeping an eye on Q3 GDP number; expectation is that the growth number could disappoint and that could continue to keep the currency under pressure. Sustained surge in global crude oil prices could also weigh on the rupee in the near term. Today, USD-INR pair is expected to quote in the range of 71.05 and 71.70

Trends on SGX Nifty indicate a flat start for the benchmark index in India, a gain of 16 points or 0.15 percent. Nifty futures were trading around 10,819.50-level on the Singaporean Exchange.
Crude Update:
Oil prices dipped on Thursday, dragged down by China's weakening economy and record U.S. crude output, although markets remained relatively well supported by supply cuts led by producer club OPEC.
