Indian rupee surged against the US dollar on Monday supported by indications that major central banks were in no hurry to raise interest rates, even as the US Fed announced a $15 billion monthly tapering of its $120 billion in monthly asset purchases. Besides, more foreign fund flows into local initial public offerings too supported domestic currency. Moreover, US dollar on the retreat also gave the Rupee a boost. Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) were net sellers as they offloaded shares worth Rs 328.11 crore, while Domestic Institutional Investors (DIIs) were net buyers worth Rs 38.25 crore in the capital market on Thursday, exchange data showed. Meanwhile, the forex market was closed on Friday for 'Diwali Balipratipada'.
The partially convertible currency is currently trading at 74.09, stronger by 37 paise from its previous close of 74.46 on Thursday. The currency touched a high and low of 74.2575 and 74.0875 respectively.
