Indian rupee strengthened against the US dollar on Thursday followed by higher opening in domestic equities, despite weak macroeconomic data. However, sustained foreign fund outflows and rising crude prices weighed on local currency and restricted its gains. Foreign institutional investors (FIIs) remained net sellers in the capital market, pulling out Rs 1,738.49 crore on Wednesday, according to provisional exchange data. On the global front, the dollar fell against most major currencies, however gained on the safe-haven yen, as the UK parliamentary vote, positive economic data in the United States and China and hopes for a de-escalation in Hong Kong's political crisis lured investors to riskier assets.
The partially convertible currency is currently trading at 71.81, stronger by 31 paise from its previous close of 72.12 on Wednesday. The currency touched a high and low of 71.9825 and 71.8150 respectively. The reference rate for the dollar stood at 72.18 and for Euro stood at 78.99 on September 3, 2019. While the reference rate for the Yen stood at 67.92, the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 86.71.
