Indian rupee, after making a flat start, recouped substantial ground to trade with strength of Tuesday tailing the gains of local equity markets, which were trading upbeat ahead of RBI’s third bi-monthly monetary policy review, where the central bank is expected to keep rates steady while adopting tougher rhetoric on inflation at its policy review due to growing concerns that disappointing monsoon rains will lead to a surge in food prices. Besides, dollar selling by some corporates, including exporters also was aiding the sentiment. Meanwhile, on the global front, most of the other major currencies traded in narrow ranges on Monday against the U.S. dollar, with prices holding up from last week's recent lows while attention shifts to central bank meetings later in the week.
The partially convertible currency is currently trading at 60.82, stronger by 11 paise from its previous close of 60.93 on Monday. The currency touched a high and low of 60.99 and 60.80 respectively.
