Indian rupee strengthened against US dollar on Tuesday, on the back of sustained foreign fund inflows coupled with weak dollar against other currencies overseas. Foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) purchased Indian stock worth Rs 3,810.6 crore while domestic institutional investors (DIIs) continued to book profits and offloaded equities worth Rs 1,955.55 crore, provisional data showed. Meanwhile, market will keep an eye on Index of Industrial Production (IIP) and inflation numbers, due later in the day. Expectation is that inflation in February could inch higher whereas IIP could grow at a slower pace in January.
