Indian rupee witnessed some profit booking on Friday after earlier sessions’ rally due to government’s victory over crucial vote on foreign direct investment in multiband retail in lower assembly. Strong demand for the American currency by oil importers was also responsible for rupee’s depreciation. Meanwhile, investors were not making any strong positions on concerns that weather the contentious policy of FDI in multi-brand retail will make it through the Upper House of Parliament today. Moreover, Mayawati-led Bahujan Samaj Party pledged her support to the Bill in the Rajya Sabha.
