Indian rupee weakened against the US dollar on Friday, tracking weakness in Asian peers amid concerns about fresh spike in corona virus pandemic cases offset growing expectations for a quick global economic recovery. The health ministry data showed the death toll in India due to corona virus rose to 12,573 and the number of infections spiked to 380,532, while the number of cases around the world has crossed 84.64 lakh with death toll topped at 4.53 lakh. Though, positive domestic equities and fresh foreign fund inflows supported the rupee and restricted its fall. Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) bought shares worth Rs 366.57 crore on Thursday, exchange data showed.
