Indian rupee strengthened against the US dollar on Monday after China unveiled fresh stimulus measures, while weak US jobs data reinforced expectations the Federal Reserve will cut interest rates this month. In a bid to inject more liquidity into the economy, the People's Bank of China on Friday said it would slash the amount of cash lenders must keep in reserve to its lowest level in 12 years. Though, sustained foreign fund outflows and rising crude prices dragged the domestic currency down. Foreign institutional investors (FIIs) remained net sellers in the capital market, pulling out Rs 957.05 crore on Friday, according to provisional exchange data. On the global front, the euro was under pressure ahead of a European Central Bank meeting later this week at which policymakers are expected to deliver new stimulus to bolster a flagging regional economy, while the Yuan weakened following China's easing and a surprise decline in exports reported on Sunday.
The partially convertible currency is currently trading at 71.58, stronger by 14 paise from its previous close of 71.72 on Friday. The currency touched a high and low of 71.7300 and 71.5200 respectively. The reference rate for the dollar stood at 71.73 and for Euro stood at 79.20 on September 6, 2019. While the reference rate for the Yen stood at 67.04, the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 88.50.
