Indian rupee strengthened against US dollar on Tuesday followed by firm opening of domestic equities after crude oil prices fell to a 13-month low on Monday as the corona virus outbreak curtailed Chinese demand and sparked potential supply cuts by OPEC and its allies. However, foreign fund outflows and strengthening of the American currency weighed on the local unit and capped its gains. Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) sold equities worth Rs 1,200 crore on Monday, exchange data showed. On the global front, the US dollar held firm after a key US manufacturing survey showed a surprise recovery, while concerns about the widening outbreak of corona virus in China kept the yuan and the Australian dollar subdued.
The partially convertible currency is currently trading at 71.19, stronger by 19 paise from its previous close of 71.38 on Monday. The currency touched a high and low of 71.2650 and 71.1800 respectively. The reference rate for the dollar stood at 71.50 and for Euro stood at 78.81 on January 31, 2020. While the reference rate for the Yen stood at 65.58, the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 93.66.
