Following a positive start for the New Year, Indian rupee strengthened against dollar, tracking local equity market gains, after a deal in the US to avert a fiscal cliff. Increase in dollar selling by exporters and banks amid sustained foreign capital inflows also supported local unit to an extent. Moreover, investors were making strong positions on rate cut hopes in the next monetary policy. Meanwhile, euro's strength against the dollar overseas also supported the domestic currency.
The partially convertible currency is currently trading at 54.45, stronger by 23 paise from its previous close of 54.68 on Tuesday. The currency touched a high and low of 54.54 and 54.31 respectively.
