Indian rupee ended stronger against dollar on Wednesday due to fresh selling of the American currency by banks and exporters and healthy equity markets. Sentiments were supported by a retreat in commodity prices and hopes for a possible diplomatic solution to end the war in Ukraine. Ukrainian President said that the positions of Ukraine and Russia at peace talks were sounding more realistic but more time was needed. Meanwhile, investors also awaited a widely anticipated rate decision by the U.S. Federal Reserve later in the day amid the Russia-Ukraine crisis. The U.S. central bank likely to raise its key short-term rate by 0.25 percentage points, marking the first increase since 2018. Meanwhile, India had approved foreign investment worth $1.79 billion from neighbouring states, in its first statement since tightening controls after tensions with China in 2020. On the global front, euro jumped on Wednesday and was set for its third consecutive daily gains versus the dollar after Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said peace talks with Ukraine were not easy but there was hope for compromise.
Finally, the rupee ended at 76.20 (Provisional), stronger by 42 paise from its previous close of 76.62 on Tuesday. The currency touched a high and low of 76.44 and 76.20 respectively.
