Indian rupee was trading flat against the US dollar on Tuesday, followed by sustained foreign fund inflows and narrowing trade deficit. On a net basis, foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) bought shares worth Rs 1,823 crore, while domestic institutional investors (DIIs) sold shares worth Rs 1,269 crore Monday, provisional data showed. Meanwhile, firm domestic equity market too influenced the currency's movement. On the global front, the dollar was on the defensive on Tuesday, weighed by growing expectations the Federal Reserve would adopt a more accommodative policy outlook this week and concerns about slower US economic growth.
The partially convertible currency is currently trading flat from its previous close of 68.53 on Monday. The currency touched a high and low of 68.5900 and 68.3450 respectively.
