Indian rupee ended lower against the U.S. dollar on Wednesday amidst strong dollar demand from importers, particularly oil companies. Traders took note of Indian Ambassador to Oman Amit Narang stating that discussions for the proposed free trade agreement (FTA) between India and Oman are at an advanced stage and both sides hope to conclude the pact early. He said the pact will give a significant push to bilateral trade and investment ties between the two countries. On the global front, dollar steadied on Wednesday after a recent run of declines that pushed it to its weakest in more than a year, as traders awaited economic data that could set the tone for the Federal Reserve's September policy meeting.
Finally, the rupee ended at 83.96 (Provisional), weaker by 3 paise from its previous close of 83.93 on Tuesday. The currency touched a high and low of 83.97 and 83.94 respectively.
