Indian rupee strengthened against the US dollar on Monday due to weakening American currency at overseas market. Meanwhile, global investors are focused on more stimulus measures from top central banks to support their respective economies reeling under the corona virus pandemic. Though, some positive sentiments were capped by fears of capital outflows after Franklin Templeton Mutual Fund suddenly closed its six debt fund schemes.
