Indian rupee trading marginally higher against the US dollar on Wednesday, tracking rally in global equities as rising optimism about a potential corona virus vaccine and a revival in business activity outweighed simmering tensions between Washington and Beijing in the wake of the corona virus pandemic. Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) bought equity shares worth Rs 4,716.13 crore on Tuesday, exchange data showed. Though, rising corona virus cases in the country and muted opening of domestic equities weighed on the domestic unit and restricted its gains. The death toll in India due to corona virus rose to 4,337 and the number of cases climbed to over 1.51 lakh in the country, while the number of cases around the world has crossed over 55.91 lakh with death toll topped at 3.50 lakh. On the global front, the US dollar gained as worries about the US response to China's proposed security law for Hong Kong supported safe-haven demand for the greenback.
The partially convertible currency is currently trading at 75.64, stronger by 2 paise from its previous close of 75.66 on Tuesday. The currency touched a high and low of 75.7400 and 75.5750 respectively. The reference rate for the dollar stood at 75.78 and for Euro stood at 82.81 on May 22, 2020. While the reference rate for the Yen stood at 70.55, the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 92.49.
