Indian rupee strengthened against the US dollar on Monday after foreign institutional investors (FIIs) continued to buy in local equity markets. Besides, the dollar's weakness against some currencies overseas too supported the rupee. Though, traders were cautious ahead of key gross domestic product (GDP) on 28 February. The data will provide clues on how the economy has responded to the government decision to scrap Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 bank notes in November. On the global front, the dollar recouped some ground after dipping to a two-week low against the yen in Asian trading on Monday, but it lacked momentum as investors awaited this week's speech by US President Donald Trump for clues on tax reform.
The partially convertible currency is currently trading at 66.71, stronger by 11 paise from its previous close of 66.82 on Thursday. The currency touched a high and low of 66.73 and 66.6475 respectively. The Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) reference rate for the dollar stood at 66.83 and for Euro stood at 70.54 on February 23, 2017. While the RBI’s reference rate for the Yen stood at 59.01, the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 83.12. The reference rates are based on 12 noon rates of a few select banks in Mumbai.
