Indian rupee strengthened against the dollar on Monday on account of increased selling of American currency by banks and exporters. Besides, dollar’s weakness against other currencies overseas amid increased skepticism of US President Donald Trump’s ability to implement his economic agenda after last week’s failed US healthcare deal supported the rupee. The domestic currency improved further on the hopes of more reforms by the Narendra Modi-led government. However, a lower opening of the domestic equity market capped some gain.
The partially convertible currency is currently trading at 65.12, stronger by 29 paise from its previous close of 65.41 on Friday. The currency touched a high and low of 65.26 and 65.0825 respectively. The Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) reference rate for the dollar stood at 65.45 and for Euro stood at 70.46 on March 24, 2017. While the RBI’s reference rate for the Yen stood at 58.74, the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 81.67. The reference rates are based on 12 noon rates of a few select banks in Mumbai.
