Indian rupee strengthened against the US dollar on Wednesday tracking positive domestic equities as investors continued to keep a watch on the latest developments around Ukraine. Russian President Vladimir Putin on Monday signed decrees to recognise Ukraine’s regions of Donetsk and Luhansk People’s Republics as independent, escalating the tension in the region and increasing fears of Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine. However, most of the Asian and emerging market currencies were still weaker against the US dollar as cautious tone could set in and could cap appreciation bias for the currency. Meanwhile, foreign institutional investors were net sellers in the capital market on Tuesday, as they offloaded shares worth Rs 3,245.52 crore, as per stock exchange data.
The partially convertible currency is currently trading at 74.63, stronger by 21 paise from its previous close of 74.84 on Tuesday. The currency touched a high and low of 74.73 and 74.62 respectively.
