Indian rupee strengthened against the US dollar on Tuesday despite month-end dollar demand. While, the rise of yen against the greenback as investors braced for the highly-anticipated policy decision later in the day from the Bank of Japan, supported domestic currency. Though, weakness in the domestic equity market and fresh foreign fund outflows, capped rupee’s upward momentum. Traders also turned cautious ahead of the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) monetary policy committee’s (MPC) meet outcome, scheduled tomorrow.
The partially convertible currency is currently trading at 68.61, stronger by 6 paise from its previous close of 68.67 on Monday. The currency touched a high and low of 68.6950 and 68.5925 respectively. The reference rate for the dollar stood at 68.75 and for Euro stood at 80.15 on July 30, 2018. While the RBI’s reference rate for the Yen stood at 61.89, the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 90.14. The reference rates are based on 12 noon rates of a few select banks in Mumbai.
