Indian rupee ended marginally higher against dollar on Wednesday, as bankers and exporters took to selling of American currency. Sentiments were positive with the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) in its Economic Outlook stating that India’s economic growth will regain strength and approach 7.5% by 2020 buoyed by rural consumption and subdued inflation. Moreover, positive gains in the domestic equities too supported the domestic unit. However, gains remain capped as cautiousness remained in markets ahead of final results of the 2019 Lok Sabha elections to be declared on May 23. On the global front, dollar hovered near a four-week high on Wednesday, supported by higher United States (US) yields after the US eased trade restrictions on Chinese telecommunications equipment maker Huawei Technologies.
Finally, the rupee ended at 69.66, 5 paise stronger from its previous close of 69.71 on Tuesday. The currency touched a high and low of 69.80 and 69.62 respectively. The reference rate for the dollar stood at 69.72 and for Euro stood at 77.72 on May 22, 2019. While the reference rate for the Yen stood at 63.28, the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 88.62.
