Indian rupee strengthened against the US dollar on Friday, driven by firm domestic equities and weakening of the American currency in overseas markets. Further, easing crude prices, sustained foreign fund inflows and selling of the American currency by exporters too supported the domestic currency. Foreign funds infused Rs 1,664.74 crore in the capital markets on a net basis Thursday, provisional data showed. However, the currency market is expected to witness high volatility ahead of the release of key economic data later in the day.
The partially convertible currency is currently trading at 69.79, stronger by 8 paise from its previous close of 69.87 on Thursday. The currency touched a high and low of 69.8050 and 69.7200 respectively. The reference rate for the dollar stood at 69.88 and for Euro stood at 78.00 on May 29, 2019.
