Indian rupee strengthened against the US dollar on Tuesday, driven by strong domestic as well as global equities as investors continued to weigh the economic impact of ongoing corona virus outbreak. Selling of dollars by banks and exporters too supported the rupee to some extent. Though, rising crude oil prices, foreign fund outflows and strengthening of the American currency weighed on the rupee and restricted its up move. Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) sold equities worth Rs 184.58 crore on Monday, exchange data showed. Market participants will be keeping an eye on CPI Inflation and IIP data that will be out tomorrow, while WPI inflation numbers will be released on Friday.
The partially convertible currency is currently trading at 71.23, stronger by 7 paise from its previous close of 71.30 on Monday. The currency touched a high and low of 71.2600 and 71.1975 respectively. The reference rate for the dollar stood at 71.24 and for Euro stood at 78.22 on February 7, 2020.
