Indian rupee ended marginally lower against the U.S. dollar on Tuesday amid withdrawal of foreign funds and increased month-end demand for the American currency. Some cautiousness came as India expressed serious concerns in a WTO meeting in Abu Dhabi over increase in the use of trade protectionist measures by certain countries in the name of environment protection. The remarks assume significance as the country has earlier flagged issues over the European Union's (EU) decision to impose carbon tax (a kind of import tax) on sectors such as steel and fertiliser; and adoption of deforestation regulation by the 27-nation bloc. On the global front, the dollar traded on the back foot on Tuesday, as markets looked ahead to a week of key U.S. economic data that will provide fresh signals on how soon the Federal Reserve may begin cutting interest rates.
Finally, the rupee ended at 82.89 (Provisional), weaker by 1 paisa from its previous close of 82.88 on Monday. The currency touched a high and low of 82.90 and 82.87 respectively.
