Indian rupee strengthened against the US dollar on Friday despite amid growing tension between Russia-Ukraine after reports of artillery fire in east Ukraine. Further, weakening crude oil prices supported rupee sentiment. However, sustained foreign fund outflow coupled with stronger US dollar capped rupee’s gains to some extent. Meanwhile, according to the Federal Reserve meeting outcome, there will be hike in interest rates soon and a reduction in the asset holdings on their balance sheet. Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) were net sellers in the capital market as they offloaded shares worth Rs 1,242.10 crore on Thursday, exchange data showed.
The partially convertible currency is currently trading at 74.92, stronger by 14 paise from its previous close of 75.06 on Thursday. The currency touched a high and low of 75.0500 and 74.9150 respectively.
