Rupee strengthens following RBI's firm defence of 87.40-87.50 territory
Indian rupee gained on Wednesday on broad-based interbank dollar sales and after the central bank's firm defence of 87.40-87.50 levels in recent sessions helped keep a lid on speculative bets against the currency.
The rupee was at 87.1550 against the U.S. dollar as of 10:00 a.m. IST, up 0.1% on the day.
The dollar index was at 105.6, hovering close to a three-month low hit on Tuesday amid worries about a slowdown in the U.S. economy and the uncertain inflation-growth impact of U.S. trade tariffs.
Following U.S. President Trump's 25% tariffs on Canada and Mexico and a cumulative 20% charge on Chinese imports, Canada and China announced counter-levies with Mexico expected to do so by later this week.
«Markets remain increasingly concerned that higher tariffs could also slow the U.S. economy, leading to lower U.S. yields and a weaker U.S. dollar,» MUFG Bank said in a note.
