Indian rupee consolidated in a narrow range and ended marginally higher against the US dollar on Wednesday following a marginal dip in the dollar in overseas markets. Positive cues from domestic equity markets supported the domestic unit. Some optimism came as India Ratings & Research (Ind-Ra) upped India's GDP growth forecast for the current fiscal to 7.5 per cent from 7.1 per cent projected earlier on expectation of improved consumption demand. Though, upside remained capped amid significant foreign fund outflows and overnight surge in crude oil prices weighed on the local unit. Foreign institutional investors were net sellers in the capital markets on Tuesday, offloaded shares worth Rs 5,598.64 crore, according to exchange data. On the global front, Yen surged after the Bank of Japan raised interest rates, signaled further policy tightening is likely, and cited concerns about the historically weak currency.
Finally, the rupee ended at 83.69 (Provisional), stronger by 4 paise from its previous close of 83.73 on Tuesday. The currency touched a high and low of 83.75 and 83.69 respectively.
