Indian rupee ended lower against dollar on Wednesday tracking a strong American currency overseas. Muted trend in domestic equities also weighed on the local unit while a correction in oil prices provided support to the currency. Some concern came with credit rating agency ICRA stating that new investment demand in the second half of this fiscal year is likely to be tempered amid increased geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, and a potential slowdown in the momentum of government capital expenditure (capex) and project execution prior to the general elections. On the global front, the dollar’s rebound extended for a third day on Wednesday after some Federal Reserve policymakers left the door open to further rate hikes, as traders looked to a speech from Chair Jerome Powell on the central bank’s future policy path.
Finally, the rupee ended at 83.28 (Provisional), weaker by 1 paisa from its previous close of 83.27 on Tuesday. The currency touched a high and low of 83.29 and 83.23 respectively.
