Indian rupee was trading marginally stronger after a weak start on Monday, earlier the rupee weakened on increased demand for the US currency from importers and the greenback’s gains against other currencies overseas. On the global front, a slide in US bond yields pressured the dollar against the yen on Monday, while the euro struggled for traction after suffering significant losses at the end of last week on renewed concerns about the upcoming French elections.
The partially convertible currency is currently trading at 67.00, stronger by 2 paise from its previous close of 67.02 on Friday. The currency touched a high and low of 67.0450 and 66.9850 respectively.
