Indian rupee weakened and hit to a new record low against the US dollar on Wednesday amid escalating trade war concerns. Besides, consistent dollar demand from banks and importers, mainly oil refiners, following higher crude oil prices, too added pressure on rupee. Furthermore, sentiment was also hurt by sustained capital outflows. On the global front, the dollar fell as sources said Canada was ready to make a concession to the United States to resolve their talks over reworking the North American Free Trade Agreement, though lingering anxiety over US-China trade tensions weighed.

While the RBI’s reference rate for the Yen stood at 64.89, the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 94.41. The reference rates are based on 12 noon rates of a few select banks in Mumbai.
