Indian rupee weakened against the US dollar on Monday as muted domestic equities amid negative cues from global markets weighed on investors' sentiment. Further, strong American currency overseas following surging corona virus cases in Europe and the United States and a lack of progress toward a US stimulus package put investors in a cautious mood. US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said on Sunday that she expected a White House response on Monday due to the latest stimulus spending plan, but there have been few tangible signs that a long-stalled deal is actually nearer. Though, Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) bought shares worth Rs 906.93 crore on a net basis on Friday, exchange data showed.
The partially convertible currency is currently trading at 73.73, weaker by 12 paise from its previous close of 73.61 on Friday. The currency touched a high and low of 73.7850 and 73.6900 respectively. The reference rate for the dollar stood at 73.57 and for Euro stood 86.77 on October 23, 2020. While the reference rate for the Yen stood at 70.26, the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 96.05.
