Indian rupee weakened against the US dollar on Monday, tracking weakness in domestic equities and driven by global risk aversion because of uncertainty over Tuesday’s US presidential elections and fresh Covid lockdown in Europe. Further, strength in American currency against major trading currencies and sustained foreign fund outflows too weighing on the rupee. Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) sold shares worth Rs 870.88 crore on a net basis on Friday, exchange data showed. Forex market was closed on Friday on account of Id-E-Milad.
The partially convertible currency is currently trading at 74.28, weaker by 18 paise from its previous close of 74.10 on Thursday. The currency touched a high and low of 74.45 and 74.28 respectively. The reference rate for the dollar stood at 73.97 and for Euro stood 86.96 on October 29, 2020. While the reference rate for the Yen stood at 70.87, the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 96.32.
