Indian rupee strengthened against the US dollar on Wednesday, following firm trade in the domestic equity market. On the global front, the dollar steadied against a basket of currencies on Wednesday, as risk aversion sparked by concerns over a worsening trade feud between Washington and Beijing ebbed, although lingering worries about the tariff rift kept currencies on edge.
The partially convertible currency is currently trading at 68.09, stronger by 29 paise from its previous close of 68.38 on Tuesday. The currency touched a high and low of 68.1775 and 68.0300 respectively. The Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) reference rate for the dollar stood at 68.15 and for Euro stood at 79.15 on June 19, 2018. While the RBI’s reference rate for the Yen stood at 62.19, the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 90.30. The reference rates are based on 12 noon rates of a few select banks in Mumbai.
