Indian rupee strengthened against US dollar on Monday due to weakening of the US dollar against some currencies overseas. Further, positive opening in the domestic equity market, also aided the local currency. However, significant foreign fund outflows weighed on the domestic currency and capped the up-move. Data showed Foreign funds sold shares worth Rs 119.60 crore from the capital markets on a net basis Friday. On the global front, the dollar traded narrowly against its peers on Monday, as risk sentiment remained fragile over heightened concerns of slowing global growth and a partial US government shutdown.
The partially convertible currency is currently trading at 69.87, stronger by 8 paise from its previous close of 69.95 on Friday. The currency touched a high and low of 69.9500 and 69.7500 respectively. The reference rate for the dollar stood at 69.97 and for Euro stood at 80.18 on December 28, 2018. While the reference rate for the Yen stood at 63.28, the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 88.65.
