The Indian rupee traded lower against the U.S. dollar in evening deals on Thursday, as emerging assets were hurt after the Federal Reserve gave an upbeat assessment on the economy, reinforcing the possibility for a September rate hike.

At its monetary policy statement released on Wednesday, the Fed didn't give a clear signal on its rate plan. However, its positive view on the U.S. economy was interpreted by markets that it looks to raise rates in near future.

The rupee declined to a 2-day low of 64.06 versus the greenback, and held steady thereafter. The pair was valued at 63.8520 at Wednesday's close. The rupee is likely to find support around the 65.00 zone.
