Indian Rupee strengthened against the US dollar on Friday, amid weakness in the American currency against other currencies overseas. Further, selling of the American currency by exporters and banks and rally in the domestic equity market too boosted the rupee. On the global front, the dollar steadied on Friday, following a rally against its peers overnight, as investors awaited US economic growth data, which could give a fresh catalyst for direction amid a wider focus on global monetary policy and bond yield direction.
The partially convertible currency is currently trading at 68.61, stronger by 4 paise from its previous close of 68.65 on Thursday. The currency touched a high and low of 68.6500 and 68.5325 respectively. The reference rate for the dollar stood at 68.70 and for Euro stood at 80.60 on July 26, 2018. While the RBI’s reference rate for the Yen stood at 62.09, the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 90.66. The reference rates are based on 12 noon rates of a few select banks in Mumbai.
