Indian rupee strengthened against the US dollar on Friday as the American currency weakened against other currencies overseas, while uptick in domestic equity market enthuse investors. Though, sustained foreign fund outflows and rising crude prices weighed on the rupee and restricted its rise. Foreign institutional investors (FIIs) remained net sellers in the capital market, pulling out Rs 892.52 crore on Thursday, according to provisional exchange data. On the global front, the dollar fell against most major currencies as central banks in Switzerland and the UK refrained from following the Federal Reserve in cutting rates, while risk appetite ebbed on caution about Sino-US trade talks.
The partially convertible currency is currently trading at 70.88, stronger by 46 paise from its previous close of 71.34 on Thursday. The currency touched a high and low of 71.1900 and 70.6800 respectively. The reference rate for the dollar stood at 71.31 and for Euro stood at 78.90 on September 18, 2019.
