Indian rupee weakened against the U.S. dollar on Friday weighed by continued foreign fund outflows. The foreign institutional investors were the net sellers on Thursday’s session, offloading securities worth Rs 2,549.80 crore. Besides, traders reacted to quarterly earnings result for the December quarter. Meanwhile, market participants overlooked India’s flash Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI) data report showed that business activity in the country’s private sector bounced back sharply in January 2026, after losing some momentum at the end of the 2025 calendar year. On the global front, the Australian dollar strengthened against other major currencies in the Asian session on Friday, as the Australia's robust PMI data signaled the Reserve Bank of Australia's (RBA) to be likely tighter monetary policy.
Finally, the rupee ended at 91.90 (Provisional), weakened by 32 paise from its previous close of 91.58 on Thursday. The currency touched a high and low of 92.00 and 91.41 respectively.
