Indian rupee strengthened against the US dollar on the first trading day of 2018 on the back of increased selling of the American currency by banks and exporters. Meanwhile, domestic equity markets opened on a flat note on Monday following global cues. Most of the global and Asian markets are closed due to New Year.
The partially convertible currency is currently trading at 63.73, stronger by 14 paise from its previous close of 63.87 on Friday. The currency touched a high and low of 63.8700 and 63.7100 respectively. The Reserve Bank of India's (RBI) reference rate for the dollar stood at 63.92 and for Euro stood at 76.38 on December 29, 2017. While the RBI's reference rate for the Yen stood at 56.72, the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 86.06. The reference rates are based on 12 noon rates of a few select banks in Mumbai.
