<p>While speaking about the stock market update, Ajay Bagga, Banking and Market Expert told ANI, "We expect markets to remain volatile going into tomorrow's US August payrolls data and unemployment number.

Indian futures are pointing to a positive open but caution remains on the US data and the Yen unwinding expected ahead."</p>

<h2>Rupee rises 4 paise to 83.97 against US dollar in early trade</h2>
<p>The rupee appreciated by 4 paise to 83.97 against US dollar in early trade on Thursday supported by weakening of the American currency in the overseas market and a positive trend in domestic equities.</p>
