Indian rupee strengthened against the US dollar on Friday, supported by selling in American currency by banks and exporters. Rupee improved further by tracking gains in domestic equity market. Though, steady rise in crude oil prices and foreign fund outflows weighed on the domestic currency and restricted its gains. Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) sold shares worth Rs 504.13 crore on Thursday, exchange data showed. On the global front, the optimism around prospects for a trade deal reduced demand for safe-haven currencies such as the yen, but with global currency markets in a holiday mood after Christmas Day on Wednesday, overall trading activity was mostly subdued.
The partially convertible currency is currently trading at 71.27, stronger by 4 paise from its previous close of 71.31 on Thursday. The currency touched a high and low of 71.2875 and 71.2350 respectively. The reference rate for the dollar stood at 71.19 and for Euro stood at 78.94 on December 24, 2019. While the reference rate for the Yen stood at 65.07, the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 92.15.
