Indian rupee strengthened against the dollar on Wednesday on the back of positive cues from domestic equities. Sentiments were positive, as India’s inflation based on wholesale price index (WPI) eased further to 5.85% in the month of November 2022 as against 8.39% recorded in October 2022, primarily contributed by fall in prices of food articles, basic metals, textiles, chemicals & chemical products and paper & paper products as compared to the corresponding month of the previous year. The wholesale inflation was 10.70% in September 2022. Besides, despite recent global headwinds, Asian Development Bank (ADB) has kept its outlook for India's economic growth unchanged at 7 per cent for the fiscal year 2022-23 (April 2022 to March 2023) from its September forecast supported by a strong domestic base. On the global front, sterling held steady against the euro on Wednesday, after data showed UK inflation eased from a 41-year high in the run-up to the Bank of England's next rate decision due later this week.
Finally, the rupee ended at 82.45 (Provisional), stronger by 15 paise from its previous close of 82.60 on Tuesday. The currency touched a high and low of 82.71 and 82.40 respectively.
