Indian rupee weakened against the US dollar on Friday as weak domestic equities tracking a global selloff on rising cases of corona virus infections in the United States and because of the Fed's gloomy outlook, weighed on investor sentiment. Globally, the number of cases linked to the corona virus has crossed 75.14 lakh with death toll topped at 4.21 lakh. Health Ministry data showed India recorded over 10,000 new corona virus cases in a day for the first time, taking the tally to 2,97,535, while the death toll rose to 8,498 with a record single-day spike of 396 fatalities. Moreover, strengthening US dollar and sustained foreign fund outflows also added pressure on rupee. Foreign institutional investors (FIIs) sold shares worth Rs 805.14 crore on Thursday, exchange data showed. Meanwhile, market participants are keenly awaiting Consumer Price Index (CPI) and Index of Industrial Production (IIP) data scheduled to be released later in the day for further cues.
The partially convertible currency is currently trading at 75.95, weaker by 16 paise from its previous close of 75.79 on Thursday. The currency touched a high and low of 76.1000 and 75.9100 respectively. The reference rate for the dollar stood at 75.46 and for Euro stood at 85.70 on June 10, 2020. While the reference rate for the Yen stood at 70.26, the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 96.29.
