Reversing previous session drubbing, Indian rupee ended significantly higher against dollar on Thursday as the U.S. Federal Reserve's decision to end its bond-buying programme in March signalled confidence in an economic recovery from pandemic-induced shock. Traders also took encouragement with a private report stating that the New Year will herald the return of normalcy and witness the growth momentum gaining steam, and pegged the real GDP growth estimate at 8.2 per cent for FY2022-23. Additional support came in as an article on the state of the economy published in RBI Bulletin said that upbeat high-frequency indicators and consumer confidence show that the Indian economy continues to forge ahead, emerging out of shackles of the pandemic. The rupee also derived its strength from gains in the local equity markets. On the global front, euro and sterling edged higher on Thursday ahead of Bank of England and European Central Bank monetary policy meetings, a day after the U.S. Federal Reserve unveiled its tightening plans.
Finally, the rupee ended 76.09 (Provisional), stronger by 23 paise from its previous close of 76.32 on Wednesday. The currency touched a high and low of 76.31 and 76.06 respectively.
