Indian rupee strengthened against the US dollar on Thursday, driven by positive opening in domestic equities and weakening of the American currency in overseas markets. Further, selling of the American currency by exporters also supported the rupee. Though, rising crude oil prices and foreign fund outflows weighed on the domestic currency. Foreign funds pulled out Rs 304.27 crore in the capital markets on a net basis Wednesday, provisional data showed. On the global front, the dollar held up against its key rivals on Thursday after fears of an escalation in the Sino-US trade standoff forced investors to take shelter in safe-haven assets, including government bonds. As the dispute between the world’s two biggest economies showed no signs of abating, worries that global growth will be hurt have rippled through financial markets in recent sessions, with riskier assets in particular taking the brunt of selling.
The partially convertible currency is currently trading at 69.78, stronger by 5 paise from its previous close of 69.83 on Wednesday.
