Indian rupee, after opening on strong note, has sustained early gains on Tuesday on persistent foreign capital inflows amidst positive local equities. Besides, increased selling of the American currency by exporters also is adding to the positive sentiment. Reports that fiscal year borrowing may be less than earlier budgeted if fiscal deficit is kept in check, also aided Rupee’s appreciation. However, negative trade of Asian currencies is keeping local unit’s gains in check. In the global market, dollar rose versus the yen on Tuesday, aided by renewed talk that the U.S. Federal Reserve may announce a further reduction of its bond-buying stimulus next week
