Indian rupee strengthened against the US dollar on Tuesday on fresh selling of the American currency by exporters and banks. Further, dollar’s weakness against some currencies overseas and gains in the domestic equity market too supported the rupee. Meanwhile, traders are cautious ahead of the key gross domestic product (GDP) data, which will be released on 30 November. Traders are also cautious ahead of the US payroll data on Friday, Italian referendum scheduled for 4 December and mid-December US Federal Reserve policy. On the global front, the dollar clawed back some losses on Tuesday as Italian political woes weighed on the euro, though the greenback remained shy of recent highs after US Treasury yields stepped back from multi-month highs.
