Indian rupee weakened against the US dollar on Friday, tracking weakness in the domestic equities amid foreign fund outflows. Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) remained net sellers in the Indian capital markets and they offloaded shares worth of Rs 2,225.60 crore on Thursday, exchange data showed. Further, strong American currency in the overseas market also kept the rupee sentiments bearish. However, rupee's losses were capped by lower oil prices on the prospect that the OPEC and its alliance might step up a planned increase in output to ease supply concerns. On the global front, US dollar was trading near its highest levels of the year with growing expectations for US asset purchase tapering beginning this year and rate hikes starting in 2022 or early in 2023.
The partially convertible currency is currently trading at 74.24, weaker by 1 paise from its previous close of 74.23 on Thursday. The currency touched a high and low of 74.3575 and 74.2300 respectively.
