Indian rupee ended higher against dollar on Wednesday, owing to dollar sale by exporters and banks. This is the fifth consecutive session when the rupee traded higher against dollar. Also, strong gains in domestic equity markets provided support to the rupee. Traders took encouragement with the Finance Ministry’s report stating that the government has initiated various measures to provide relief and financial support to various sectors of the Covid-19 hit economy, at the same time, fiscal consolidation is also under focus. Additional optimism came with ratings agency ICRA’s statement that domestic IT services companies are expected to log a dollar revenue growth of 9-12 per cent in FY2022, driven by accelerated demand for digital technologies from enterprises globally and partly on account of low base of last year due to the COVID-19 impact. On the global front, sterling steadied against the dollar and edged up on the euro on Wednesday, despite official data showing Britain's economy grew more slowly than previously thought before the Omicron variant surge seen in recent weeks.
Finally, the rupee ended 75.54 (Provisional), stronger by 5 paise from its previous close of 75.59 on Tuesday. The currency touched a high and low of 75.65 and 75.48 respectively.
