The pair settled on Monday -0.2% at 74.75. At 09:45 UTC, USD\/INR trades -0.15% 74.62 a 2 week low.<\/p>\n<p>The Indian Rupee is appreciating thanks to a strong Indian equity market, foreign fund inflows and on vaccine optimism boosting risk appetite.<\/p>\n<p>Oxford University and AstraZeneca reported that 100% of those injected with the coronavirus vaccine candidate produced an immune response and crucially they were no adverse side effects. The upbeat report lifted market sentiment because a vaccine would potentially be the only way for economic growth to rebound back to levels seen before the pandemic. When risk sentiment improves demand lifts for riskier assets and currencies such as the Indian Rupee.<\/p>\n<p>In India, AIIMS-Delhi began recruiting volunteers for conducting human clinical trials of the domestically developed coronavirus candidate Covaxin.<\/p>\n<p>Indian equities are performing well for the fifth straight session.
