Indian rupee strengthened against the US dollar on Monday after banks and exporters increasingly stayed away from the American currency. Further, domestic equity markets opened in the green taking cues from a strong overnight showing on Wall Street, too added support to rupee sentiment. On the global front, the dollar slipped on Monday, losing some of its recent momentum as US bond yields sagged, although moves were tempered by caution ahead of Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell’s first congressional testimony.
The partially convertible currency is currently trading at 64.65, stronger by 8 paise from its previous close of 64.73 on Friday. The currency touched a high and low of 64.7075 and 64.6350 respectively. The Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) reference rate for the dollar stood at 64.82 and for Euro stood at 79.76 on February 23, 2018. While the RBI’s reference rate for the Yen stood at 60.59, the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 90.40. The reference rates are based on 12 noon rates of a few select banks in Mumbai.
