Indian rupee, extending its appreciating streak for second session, was trading near two-week high on Tuesday on good institutional flows, both domestic and foreign, while record high equities also were aiding sentiment. Overseas investors bought cash shares worth Rs 4.73 billion ($77.84 million) on Monday, provisional exchange data showed. Additionally, bunched up dollar inflows after two days holiday also added to optimistic milieu.
Forex market remained closed on Friday and Monday on account of 'Independence Day' and 'Parsi New Year' respectively. Besides, easing global crude prices also helped the rupee but the dollar’s strength against other currencies overseas capped the rise of local unit to some extent.
On the global front, dollar steadied on Tuesday after Monday's gains on upbeat U.S. housing data and a rise in U.S. bond yields, but gains were capped as traders’ awaited hints on Federal Reserve policy intentions before they test major resistance levels.
The partially convertible currency is currently trading at 60.70, stronger by 8 paise from its previous close of 60.78 on Thursday. The currency touched a high and low of 60.75 and 60.66 respectively. The Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) reference rate for the dollar stood at 61.05 and for Euro stood at 81.55 on August 14, 2014.
