According to Anil Kumar Bhansali, Head of Treasury, Finrex Treasury Advisors, the rupee which has appreciated nearly one rupee since Friday, has been gaining on bountiful corporate inflows.
"RBI has been present intermittently and equity inflows have also been aiding the rupee after Fed rhetoric on Friday," he added.
