Indian rupee strengthened against the US dollar on Monday on account of selling of the US currency by exporters and banks. Further, dollar’s weakness against some currencies overseas and a higher opening in domestic equities also supported the local currency. On the global front, the euro extended gains to a 2.5 year high against the dollar on Monday after the European Central Bank president held back from talking down the currency and as markets worried about the impact of Tropical Storm Harvey on the US economy. Forex market was closed on Friday for ‘Ganesh Chaturthi’.
The partially convertible currency is currently trading at 63.90, stronger by 13 paise from its previous close of 64.03 on Thursday. The currency touched a high and low of 63.9175 and 63.8700 respectively. The Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) reference rate for the dollar stood at 64.06 and for Euro stood at 75.58 on August 24, 2017.
