Indian rupee strengthened against US dollar on Wednesday amid firm domestic equities and fresh foreign fund inflows. Foreign funds purchased shares worth Rs 420.65 crore on a net basis, and domestic institutional investors bought shares worth Rs 194.31 crore Tuesday, provisional data showed. Though, rising crude prices capped the gains for the domestic unit. Meanwhile, market participants were cautious ahead of RBI’s Monetary Policy Committee outcome scheduled for February 7. On the global front, the dollar held steady against its peers, showing little reaction to US President Donald Trump’s State of the Union address which touched upon trade and budget issues but provided investors with few surprises.
The partially convertible currency is currently trading at 71.54, stronger by 3 paise from its previous close of 71.57 on Tuesday. The currency touched a high and low of 71.6000 and 71.4925 respectively. The reference rate for the dollar stood at 71.74 and for Euro stood at 82.01 on February 05, 2019. While the reference rate for the Yen stood at 65.29, the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 93.56.
