Indian rupee strengthened against the US dollar on Friday with most Asian currencies were trading in the positive territory following dovish comments from both New York Fed President John Williams and Vice Chair Richard Clarida, that raised investors' hopes of an interest-rate cut this month. Though, foreign fund outflows and cautious opening in domestic equities weighed on the local unit and restricted its rise. Foreign investors sold shares worth Rs 1,404.86 crore on a net basis on Thursday, provisional data showed.
The partially convertible currency is currently trading at 68.82, stronger by 15 paise from its previous close of 68.97 on Thursday. The currency touched a high and low of 68.8350 and 68.7400 respectively. The reference rate for the dollar stood at 68.80 and for Euro stood at 77.14 on July 17, 2019. While the reference rate for the Yen stood at 63.60, the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 85.39.
