Indian rupee strengthened against the US dollar on Friday, tracking foreign fund inflows in the market. Foreign institutional investors (FIIs) bought shares worth Rs 809.37 crore on Thursday, exchange data showed. However, weak trend in domestic equities on corona-virus concerns along with the likely trajectory of the oxygen shortage crisis have capped rupee's gains. Meanwhile, month-end dollar demand from importers also added downward pressure on rupee sentiments. On the global front, the US dollar declined against a basket of major peers as the Federal Reserve stuck to its message of ultra-low interest rates for longer.
The partially convertible currency is currently trading at 74.00, stronger by 7 paise from its previous close of 74.07 on Thursday. The currency touched a high and low of 74.1250 and 73.9950 respectively. The reference rate for the dollar stood at 74.94, and for Euro stood 90.24 on April 22, 2021. While the reference rate for the Yen stood at 69.43, the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 104.47.
