Indian rupee was trading weak on Tuesday on account of fresh dollar demand from oil importers in view of its strength overseas against the basket of major currencies. Additionally, weak local equities also weighed on the sentiment. The currency resumed trade after a long weekend on a weak note also on increased demand of American greenback. Money markets were shut for trade on May 1 and May 4 on account of ‘Maharashtra Day’ and ‘Buddha Pournima’ respectively. On the global front, dollar was slightly firmer against a basket of major currencies early on Tuesday, advancing against the euro and sterling in thin trade with several key financial centres shut for holidays.
