Indian rupee ended higher against dollar on Friday due to fresh selling of the American currency by banks and exporters as risk appetite improved amid easing fears of fallout from the Omicron coronavirus variant. Sentiments were upbeat as India and Australia have decided to expedite the pace of negotiations to clinch an interim trade deal, which will be followed up with a broader free trade agreement (FTA). Some support also came with a private report that India can generate $813 billion in revenue creating 152 million jobs, with an investment of $272 billion in agritech and allied segments by 2030, making it the largest private sector industry in the country. Traders paid no heed towards report that Federation of Indian Export Organisations (FIEO) said India’s exports growth may slow to 15-17.5% in FY23 but containment of Covid-19 through massive vaccination across the globe and creation of required capacity will be the decisive factors. On the global front, dollar eased on signs the Omicron variant would not significantly derail global economic growth.
Finally, the rupee ended 75.03 (Provisional), stronger by 23 paise from its previous close of 75.26 on Thursday. The currency touched a high and low of 75.20 and 75.00 respectively.
