Indian rupee weakened against the US dollar on Thursday due to sell-off in domestic equities following overnight declines on Wall Street following fresh concerns that the global economic recovery is running out of steam. US Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell said before Congress that further fiscal stimulus is still needed for the US economic recovery to continue. Further, surging corona virus cases globally and significant foreign fund outflows too weighed on investor sentiment. Data showed Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) sold shares worth Rs 3,912.44 crore, while Domestic Institutional Investors (DIIs) bought shares of Rs 1,629.23 crore in the Indian equity market on Wednesday.
The partially convertible currency is currently trading at 73.87, weaker by 30 paise from its previous close of 73.57 on Wednesday.
