Indian rupee strengthened marginally against the US dollar on Tuesday on account of increased selling of the American currency by exporters and banks amid higher inflow of foreign funds. Further, the dollar’s weakness against some currencies overseas after two more Republican senators rejected the Bill to repeal Obamacare, supported the rupee. However, domestic equity markets opened in red following mixed global cues and capped some gains. On the global front, the US dollar sank to a 10-month low against a basket of major currencies on Tuesday, hobbled by uncertainty over the pace of the Federal Reserve's policy tightening and worries that President Donald Trump will fail to deliver healthcare reforms.
The partially convertible currency is currently trading at 64.33, stronger by 2 paise from its previous close of 64.35 on Monday. The currency touched a high and low of 64.3700 and 64.3150 respectively. The Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) reference rate for the dollar stood at 64.36 and for Euro stood at 73.69 on July 17, 2017. While the RBI’s reference rate for the Yen stood at 57.12, the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 84.21. The reference rates are based on 12 noon rates of a few select banks in Mumbai.
