Indian rupee strengthened against the US dollar on Tuesday as some easing in global crude oil prices despite continuing tension between the United States and Iran. Rupee sentiment buoyed further by firm domestic equities on the back of strong global equities as global investors calmed on no further escalation in the middle-east tensions. Though, Foreign institutional investors (FIIs) sold shares worth Rs 103.84 crore in the capital markets on a net basis on Monday, exchange data showed.
The partially convertible currency is currently trading at 71.75, stronger by 18 paise from its previous close of 71.93 on Monday. The currency touched a high and low of 71.7650 and 71.6825 respectively. The reference rate for the dollar stood at 71.69 and for Euro stood at 80.05 on January 3, 2020.
