Indian rupee strengthened against the US dollar on Tuesday amid gains in the domestic equity market and foreign fund inflows. Foreign institutional investors (FIIs) bought shares worth Rs 302.88 crore on Monday, exchange data showed. Moreover, weakness in the American currency overseas too supported rupee. However, worsening conflicts between US and China over Hong Kong could limit the appreciation bias in currencies. Meanwhile, market participants will be eye on Index of Industrial Production (IIP) number scheduled to be released later in the day for further cues. On the global front, the US dollar gained following seven weeks of an almost relentless fall as investors clung to expectations of a bipartisan stimulus deal in Washington and US bond yields rebounded from multi-month lows.
