Indian rupee weakened against the US dollar on Wednesday tracking strengthening American currency after the US manufacturing activity accelerated to a nearly two-year high in August. Further, volatility in domestic equities too added pressure on domestic currency. Meanwhile, the rupee had strengthened yesterday supported by liquidity-boosting measures announced by the Reserve Bank of India. Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) bought shares worth Rs 486.09 crore on Tuesday, exchange data showed.
