Indian rupee strengthened against US dollar on Wednesday, tracking positive Asian peers with hopes for corona virus vaccine. Several scientists said that the corona virus vaccine developed by Oxford University and AstraZeneca shows promise as it can generate both antibodies and cell-mediated immune responses. Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) bought shares worth Rs 2,265.88 crore on Tuesday, exchange data showed. Health ministry data showed the death toll in India due the corona virus rose to 28,732 and the number of infections has touched 1,192,915, while the number of cases around the world has crossed 1.49 crore with the death toll topped at 6.16 lakh. On the global front, the US dollar declined against most currencies in Asian trading as concerns that Republicans and Democrats are struggling to reach consensus on further US economic stimulus measures.
The partially convertible currency is currently trading at 74.68, stronger by 6 paise from its previous close of 74.74 on Tuesday. The currency touched a high and low of 74.7500 and 74.5900 respectively. The reference rate for the dollar stood at 74.96 and for Euro stood at 85.93 on July 20, 2020.
