Indian rupee strengthened against the US dollar on Tuesday tracking firm domestic equities, even as increased number of corona virus cases reported in India. The number of deaths around the world linked to the new corona virus has crossed over 37,000. In India, nearly 1,100 corona virus cases have been reported so far. Rupee improved further after the RBI increased the limit for FPIs investment in corporate bonds to 15% of outstanding stock for FY 2020-21, while sustained foreign fund outflows and strengthening of the US dollar weighed on it. Foreign institutional investors (FIIs) sold equity shares worth Rs 4,363.61 crore on Monday, exchange data showed. On the global front, the US dollar gained against the yen as Japanese investors and companies rushed to cover a greenback shortage before their fiscal year-end, but sentiment remained subdued as global corona virus crisis worsened.
The partially convertible currency is currently trading at 75.40, stronger by 19 paise from its previous close of 75.59 on Monday. The currency touched a high and low of 75.5800 and 75.3975 respectively. The reference rate for the dollar stood at 74.84 and for Euro stood at 82.64 on March 27, 2020. While the reference rate for the Yen stood at 68.89, the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 91.56.
