Indian rupee ended marginally weak against the US dollar on Wednesday, on increased demand for the greenback from importers and banks. Investors remain concerned as Rating agency Moody's stated that the Union Budget lacks any tangible measures to increase revenue generation even though the capital expenditure plans have gone up significantly and the fiscal deficit estimate suggests that the government is relying too much on strong growth to help drive fiscal consolidation. However, downfall remain capped as provisional data of the commerce ministry showed that the country's exports rose by 23.69 per cent to $34.06 billion in January on healthy performance by engineering, petroleum and gems and jewellery segments even as trade deficit widened to $17.94 billion during the month. On the global front, euro rose for a third consecutive day on Wednesday, after hitting a 20-month low last week, as markets awaited euro zone inflation data for clues on the European Central Bank's next move.
Finally, the rupee ended 74.83 (Provisional), weaker by 1 paise from its previous close of 74.82 on Tuesday. The currency touched a high and low of 75.02 and 74.71 respectively.
