Indian Rupee ended higher against the US dollar on Wednesday as the American currency retreated from its elevated levels after the US inflation came lower than expected. A firm trend in domestic equity markets and risk-on sentiment also supported the local unit. Traders took encouragement after India’s consumer price index (CPI)-based retail inflation rate declined for the second consecutive month to a five-month low in October. Besides, wholesale price inflation remained in the negative territory for the seventh month in a row in October at (-) 0.52 per cent on easing prices of food items. Some support also came as India’s exports rose by 6.21 per cent to $33.57 billion in October this year, as against $31.6 billion a year-ago. On the global front, dollar edged up on Wednesday after its biggest drop in a year the day before when cooler U.S. inflation data added to investor conviction that the Federal Reserve may not raise rates again, while the pound fell after slower UK inflation figures.
Finally, the rupee ended at 83.10 (Provisional), stronger by 23 paise from its previous close of 83.33 on Monday. The currency touched a high and low of 83.19 and 83.01 respectively.
