Indian rupee strengthened against the US dollar on Friday on account of dollar’s weakness against some currencies overseas. However, sustained foreign fund outflows, increased demand for the US currency from importers and banks, and a weak domestic equity market, limited the rupee’s gains. Forex and money markets were closed yesterday on the occasion of Parsi New Year. On the global front, the dollar edged lower versus the yen on Friday, hampered by renewed investor concerns over the Trump administration's ability to push forward its economic policy agenda.
The partially convertible currency is currently trading at 64.10, stronger by 5 paise from its previous close of 64.15 on Wednesday. The currency touched a high and low of 64.17 and 64.08 respectively. The Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) reference rate for the dollar stood at 64.24 and for Euro stood at 75.37 on August 16, 2017. While the RBI’s reference rate for the Yen stood at 58.01, the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 82.61. The reference rates are based on 12 noon rates of a few select banks in Mumbai.
