Indian rupee strengthened against the US dollar on Monday tracking gains in domestic equities. Besides, the current account deficit data also supported the rupee. According to Reserve Bank of India, the March 2019 quarter current account deficit more than halved to $4.6 billion or 0.7% from 1.8% in March 2018. Meanwhile, Chinese President Xi Jinping and his American counterpart Donald Trump at the G20 summit have agreed to re-launch the stalled negotiations to end the trade war. Though, foreign fund outflows and rising crude oil prices weighed on the domestic currency. Foreign institutional investors (FIIs) remained net sellers in the capital markets, pulling out Rs 513.91 crore Friday, according to provisional exchange data.
