Indian rupee strengthened against the US dollar on Friday, tracking gains in domestic equity markets and slight retreat in the American currency overseas. Meanwhile, investors are awaiting the release of US non-farm payrolls data, due later in the day, that would reinforce the need for early Federal Reserve interest rate hikes. However, growing concerns over the Omicron variant of coronavirus and its impact on economic recovery, firm crude oil prices and foreign fund outflows capped gains in rupee. Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) were net sellers in the capital market as they offloaded shares worth Rs 1,926.77 crore on Thursday, exchange data showed.
The partially convertible currency is currently trading at 74.28, stronger by 14 paise from its previous close of 74.42 on Thursday. The currency touched a high and low of 74.4100 and 74.2500 respectively.
