Indian rupee has weakened against the U.S. dollar on Friday amid persistent fund outflows from foreign institutional investors (FIIs) and high crude oil prices. The FIIs have sold securities worth Rs 3,752.52 crore on Thursday’s session. Further, Moody’s Ratings in a note on oil supply shock in prolonged West Asia conflict has said that the escalating West Asia conflict could spike energy prices and disrupt supplies, adding pressure on India’s rupee, inflation and current account deficit, as the country is highly dependent on crude oil and LNG imports from the region.
