Indian rupee strengthened against the US dollar on Tuesday, driven by firm domestic equities and weakening of the greenback in overseas markets. Further, selling of the American currency by exporters supported the rupee. Though, sustained foreign fund outflows and surging crude oil prices restricted the rupee up move. Foreign funds pulled out Rs 112.13 crore from the capital markets on a net basis, while domestic institutional investors sold shares worth Rs 65.22 crore Monday, provisional data showed. Meanwhile, investors were cautious ahead RBI's Monetary Policy Committee outcome scheduled for February 7. On the global front, the dollar held on to recent gains against its major peers, supported by a recovery in investors’ risk appetite, which gave an overnight boost to US yields.
The partially convertible currency is currently trading at 71.77, stronger by 3 paise from its previous close of 71.80 on Monday. The currency touched a high and low of 71.8075 and 71.6750 respectively. The reference rate for the dollar stood at 71.65 and for Euro stood at 81.99 on February 04, 2019.
