Indian rupee, reversed losses to conclude second consecutive session of trade on stronger note on Wednesday, on account of speculation of exporters converting overseas earnings, even as consistent demand for dollars from oil importers, restricted significant appreciation of the Indian currency. Shrugging off negative close of Indian equity markets, much of the support was offered from regional counterparts to the local unit. On the global front, the dollar climbed against the yen on Wednesday, moving back towards a 2-1/2 year high hit last week, as renewed expectations of easier Bank of Japan monetary policy led some investors to sell the Japanese currency.

Finally the rupee ended at 54.75, stronger by 25 paise from its previous close of 55.00 on Tuesday. The currency has touched a high and low of 55.07 and 54.71 respectively.
