The rupee on Wednesday ended a tad stronger at 61.53 to the dollar against the previous close of 61.55 amid thin trading volumes and gains in the domestic equity market. A dealer with a public sector bank said the nationwide bank union strike contributed to thin trading volumes. According to a note by India Forex Advisors, the domestic currency was trading in a narrow band in the absence of major drivers from the US zone.
