Indian rupee strengthened against the US dollar on Monday, tracking gains in the domestic equity market and strong signals from global markets. Moreover, weakness in American currency too supported the rupee, though foreign fund outflows and fears over rising corona virus cases weighed on investor sentiment and restricted rupee gains. Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) sold shares worth Rs 1,031 crore on Friday, exchange data showed. Health ministry data showed the death toll in India, due to corona virus rose to 23,174 and the number of infections spiked to 878,254, while the number of cases around the world has crossed 1.28 crore with death toll topped at 5.68 lakh. Meanwhile, investors are now awaiting the cues from Consumer Price Index (CPI) data expected to be released later in the day.
The partially convertible currency is currently trading at 75.15, stronger by 5 paise from its previous close of 75.20 on Friday. The currency touched a high and low of 75.2100 and 75.0900 respectively. The reference rate for the dollar stood at 75.28 and for Euro stood at 84.79 on July 10, 2020.
