Indian rupee strengthened marginally against the US dollar on Wednesday as global risk appetite improved on a possible ‘phase-one’ trade deal between United States and China strengthened investor sentiments. US President Donald Trump said that the Phase One trade deal with China would be signed on January 15 at the White House, though considerable confusion remains about the details of the agreement. Further, easing crude oil prices and firm domestic equities also supported the domestic currency. However, Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) sold shares worth Rs 1,265.10 crore on Tuesday, exchange data showed.
The partially convertible currency is currently trading at 71.35, stronger by 1 paise from its previous close of 71.36 on Tuesday. The currency touched a high and low of 71.3600 and 71.2900 respectively. The reference rate for the dollar stood at 71.34 and for Euro stood at 79.88 on December 30, 2019. While the reference rate for the Yen stood at 65.37, the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 93.55.
