Indian rupee weakened against the US dollar on Monday due to strengthening of American currency against its major crosses. Besides, weak domestic equities and another extension of the nation-wide lockdown too weighed on rupee sentiment. Rupee weakened further by tracking global sell off after US President Donald Trump threatened to raise tariffs on China to retaliate for the spread of the corona virus, which renewed fresh fears that trade tensions could crimp an economic recovery. Meanwhile, market participants will be keeping an eye on inflation and industrial production number, which will be released next week. Forex market was closed on Friday on account of Maharashtra Day.
