Indian rupee strengthened against the US dollar on Thursday, driven by weakening of the American currency in the overseas markets. However, rising crude prices, US-China trade concerns and foreign fund outflows capped the rupees upward movement. Foreign institutional investors’ net sold equities worth Rs 1,142.44 crore on Wednesday, provisional data available with stock exchanges showed. On the global front, the euro and yen steadied against the dollar on Thursday, after US officials said President Donald Trump was expected to delay implementing tariffs on imported cars and parts by up to six months to give trade negotiators more time.
The partially convertible currency is currently trading at 70.24, stronger by 10 paise from its previous close of 70.34 on Wednesday. The currency touched a high and low of 70.3250 and 70.2175 respectively. The reference rate for the dollar stood at 70.42 and for Euro stood at 79.15 on May 14, 2019. While the reference rate for the Yen stood at 64.25, the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 91.21.
