Indian rupee was trading marginally weaker after a positive start on Wednesday, earlier the rupee strengthened on sustained selling of the American currency by banks and exporters. Dollar's weakness against other currencies overseas and a firm domestic equity market too added support to the rupee. On the global front, the dollar edged down to its session low against the yen on Wednesday, following US President Donald Trump's remarks about a government shutdown. At a rally with his supporters in Phoenix, Trump referred to his vow to build a wall at the US-Mexican border and said, ‘If we have to close down the government, we are building that wall’.
