Indian rupee was trading tad strong against dollar on Tuesday on the back of slender gains of local equities. Nevertheless, month-end dollar demand from state run banks and oil importers along with strength of dollar index restricted further appreciation of Indian currency. Additionally, prevailing caution ahead of Budget 15-16 also weighed on the sentiment. On the global front, dollar edged higher against the yen on Tuesday, but traders were wary of making too many bets on the currency ahead of congressional testimony by Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen.
Yellen's appearance before the U.S. Senate Banking Committee remains to be in limelight after dovish-sounding minutes from the Fed's January meeting released last week dented expectations for an early interest rate hike.
The partially convertible currency is currently trading at 62.27, stronger by 4 paise from its previous close of 62.31 on Monday. The currency touched a high and low of 62.31 and 62.25 respectively.
