Indian rupee after hitting a month low level at the start of trade, has pared some of its losses tailing the gains of local equities, however overall trade continue to remain weak on Friday on account of prevailing risk-off sentiment after news of downed Malaysian airlines jet at the Ukraine-Russia border sent investors to defensive assets. Nevertheless, recovery of local equity markets to some extent limited the sharper slide of the local unit. On the global front, Russia's rouble tumbled against the dollar on Thursday, but the greenback eased amid a global scramble to defensive assets by investors spooked by news a Malaysian passenger jet had been brought own in Ukrainian airspace.
The partially convertible currency is currently trading at 60.33, weaker by 14 paise from its previous close of 60.19 on Thursday.
