Indian rupee ended flat on Wednesday after Reserve Bank of India (RBI) changed the policy stance to 'Neutral' from 'Withdrawal of Accomodation'. It also kept its key repo rate unchanged at 6.5 per cent for a tenth straight policy. Traders took note of report that Oil Minister Hardeep Singh Puri said that India will be able to navigate through any oil supply shock that may result from the potential widening of the conflict in the Middle East. He said while India, the world's third largest oil importing and consuming nation, is more than 85 per cent dependent on imports to meet its crude oil needs, the situation is manageable and there is no need for concern. On the global front, the Japanese Yen (JPY) drifted lower against its American counterpart on Wednesday. Data published on Tuesday showed that Japan's real wages fell in August after two months of gains in wages, while household spending also declined, raising doubts about the strength of private consumption and a sustained economic recovery.
Finally, the rupee ended flat with its previous close of 83.97 on Tuesday. The currency touched a high and low of 83.97 and 83.92 respectively.
