Indian rupee weakened marginally against the US dollar on Wednesday as the dollar strengthened against its major crosses after remaining under pressure in the last few sessions after the Fed Chairman pushed back on market expectations and presidential pressure for the central bank to deliver a significant US interest rate cut of half a percentage point as soon as its next meeting. Rupee fell further on simmering geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and higher crude oil prices. Though, foreign fund inflows and firm domestic equities supported the domestic currency and capping the rupee’s down-move. Foreign institutional investors (FIIs) remained net buyers in the capital markets, putting in Rs 1,157.87 crore Tuesday, as per provisional data. On the global front, the trade concerns between the US and China, and rising US-Iran tensions are poised to dominate a high-stakes G20 summit from Friday.
