Indian rupee strengthened against the US dollar on Friday on the back of free fall in crude oil prices and heavy buying by foreign institutional investors (FIIs). Further, weakness in the greenback against some currencies overseas and a higher opening of domestic equities too supported domestic currency. On the global front, the dollar trod water in nervous trade on Friday ahead of a meeting of US and Chinese leaders that might, or might not, lead to a truce in the Sino-US trade war, which would boost emerging market currencies at the expense of safe havens.
The partially convertible currency is currently trading at 69.64, stronger by 21 paise from its previous close of 69.85 on Thursday. The currency touched a high and low of 69.7750 and 69.5900 respectively. The reference rate for the dollar stood at 69.91 and for Euro stood at 79.58 on November 29, 2018. While the reference rate for the Yen stood at 61.71, the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 89.73. The reference rates are based on 12 noon rates of a few select banks in Mumbai.
