Indian rupee strengthened against the US dollar on Monday, driven by easing crude prices and a higher opening in domestic equities ahead of the Reserve Bank’s bi-monthly policy review. Further, Foreign fund inflows also supported the domestic currency. Foreign institutional investors (FIIs) remained net buyers in the capital markets, putting in Rs 676.15 crore on a net basis Friday, provisional exchange data showed. On the global front, the yen brushed a more than four-month high against the dollar on Monday and the Swiss franc rose as US President Donald Trump’s hard stance on trade broadened to countries beyond China, stoking investor demand for safe-haven assets.
The partially convertible currency is currently trading at 69.47, stronger by 23 paise from its previous close of 69.70 on Friday. The currency touched a high and low of 69.4825 and 69.3900 respectively. The reference rate for the dollar stood at 69.80 and for Euro stood at 77.72 on May 31, 2019. While the reference rate for the Yen stood at 64.08, the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 88.00.
