Rupee trades marginally lower at 63.42

 Rupee trades marginally lower at 63.42
The rupee opened strong at 63.24, but soon gave up gains and was trading marginally lower at 63.43, against the dollar, a drop of 6 paise over Wednesday's close.

Indian forex markets will eagerly wait for a decision by the Federal Reserve in the US regarding its QE3 tapering off programme due later today. Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke is likely to hold a press conference at around 1 am IST.

It's widely anticipated that the Fed would taper its asset purchase programme to the tune of $10 billion. Any amount in excess of this is likely to put pressure on the Indian rupee.

Dealers say that the rupee may trade in a narrow band today and take cues from the Fed meet later today.
