In line with global peers, Indian rupee depreciated against dollar as American currency gained in the global markets. Local equity markets weakness and increased month-end demand for dollar from importers also pressurized rupee to an extent. Meanwhile, euro trading lower against the dollar on Wednesday as worries about Spain's debt persisted and weak German business data fanned fears of slowing growth.

The partially convertible currency is currently trading at 53.55, weaker by 18 paise from its previous close of 53.37 on Tuesday. The currency, so far, has touched a high and low of 53.62 and 53.47 respectively.
