Indian rupee staged slender recovery tracing optimistic close of local equity market on Wednesday. Although sustained dollar demand in view of it gaining strength overseas did its bit to pressurize the local unit, continued capital inflows on account of growing optimism that more talks due to be held in Athens today will eventually lead to a deal that releases the funds needed to avoid a messy Greek debt default, which could happen as soon as next month, provided the required impetus to the local currency. Additionally, support also emerged from regional counterparts. Moreover, euro too was trading at two month's high against American greenback on Wednesday.
Finally the rupee ended at 49.17, stronger by 2 paise from its previous close of 49.19 on Tuesday. It has touched a high and a low of 49.25 and 48.99 respectively.
