Indian rupee strengthened against the US dollar on Tuesday following firmness in the domestic equity market. Though, uncertainty over Kashmir issue, heavy capital outflows as investors turned jittery over the US-China trade tension, and a sharp devaluation in yuan, weighed on the domestic unit and restricting the rupee from strengthening further. Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) remained net sellers in the capital markets, pulling out Rs 2,016.73 crore on Monday, according to provisional exchange data. On the global front, the offshore yuan hit an all-time low after Washington designated Beijing a currency manipulator in a rapid escalation of the US-China trade war.
The partially convertible currency is currently trading at 70.68, stronger by 5 paise from its previous close of 70.73 on Monday. The currency touched a high and low of 70.8000 and 70.4700 respectively. The reference rate for the dollar stood at 69.39 and for Euro stood at 76.93 on August 2, 2019. While the reference rate for the Yen stood at 64.82, the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 84.08.
