Indian rupee weakened against the US dollar on Tuesday on account of strengthening of the American currency against other currencies overseas, along with weak opening in domestic equities. Further, worries over US-China trade negotiations and global economic outlook too put pressure on the rupee. Though, foreign institutional investors (FIIs) were net buyers in the capital markets, putting in Rs 203.73 crore on Friday, according to provisional exchange data. Forex market remained closed Monday on account of Bakri Id. On the global front, the Japanese yen is trading close to a seven-month high against the dollar, as unrest in Hong Kong and gyrations in Argentina’s markets heightened investor risk aversion and fanned demand for the safe-haven Japanese currency.
