Trading markets opened today on a positive note, the rupee appreciated by 25 paise to 64.68 against the US currency in early trade at the interbank forex market.
Stock markets opening with gains bolstered the rupee sentiment. However, the dollar’s strength against other currencies overseas capped the gains. On Friday, the rupee had gained 15 paise to end at a fresh three-week high of 64.93 on easing macro worries coupled with record-setting domestic equities.
Both the key Indian equity indices on Monday touched record highs. The 30-scrip Sensitive Index (Sensex) was trading 234.05 points or 0.72% higher after opening.
The wider 50-scrip Nifty of the National Stock Exchange (NSE) was also trading 71.05 points or 0.70% higher at 10,238.50 points.
The Sensex of the BSE, which opened at 32,488.23 points, was trading at 32,666.74 points (at 9.42am), higher 234.05 points or 0.72% from Friday’s close at 32,432.69 points.
