Indian rupee weakened against US dollar on Monday tracking heavy selling in domestic equities as rising Covid-19 cases continue to weigh on market sentiment. Data showed Maharashtra remains the worst-affected state with 63,294 new cases and 349 deaths in the last 24 hours. The Maharashtra state government is likely to take a call on announcing a complete lockdown in the state this week. Further, rising crude oil prices and foreign fund outflows also put downward pressure on the rupee sentiments. Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) offloaded shares worth Rs 653.51 crore on Friday, exchange data showed.
