Indian rupee, extending previous session’s appreciating streak, ended strong against dollar on Wednesday on bunched up dollar inflows as banks resumed operations post two-day strike. Additionally, decent gains of local equities ahead of December IIP and January CPI data, also aided the sentiments for Indian currency. While, street widely expects CPI to have eased to 9.40 per cent from a year earlier, compared with 9.87 per cent in December, IIP for December is expected to be moderate in terms of any sort of figure this time around. The local unit, in-line with most of the emerging market’s currencies ended upbeat after trade data from China and an optimistic economic outlook from Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen whetted investors' appetite for risk.
