The Indian Rupee is on firm ground against the US Dollar and may see further strengthening in the near term, Senior Technical Analyst Anuj Gupta opines. Gupta said that there are positive indicators including a strong support by the record increase in forex reserves, which have increased by USD 5.92 billion to touch life time high of USD 507.644 billion.
The analyst further said that the weakness in Dollar coupled with the strength in India’s equity market are some other factors that are making Indian Rupee look good. The weakness in USD augurs well for the Indian Rupee, he said.
At 12:05 pm, the June Currency Futures (U S Dollar-Indian Rupee - USD-INR) were trading at 75.7050 against the US Dollar.

Gupta who is a Deputy Vice President, Commodity and Currency Research at Angel Broking said that he expects the Rupee to test 75.50 to 75.30 levels.
