Indian rupee, snapping two consecutive sessions’ appreciating streak, was trading weak on Thursday on account of month end dollar demand from importers for the American currency in view of its strength in the overseas markets against the basket of major currencies after a US Federal Reserve policy statement gave a better-than-expected outlook on economic conditions. Further, losses of local equities on account of F&O expiry, also weighed on the sentiments. Back in the previous session, Indian currency gained on government panel recommendation of an immediate increase in diesel prices, which in turn reduced some of the concerns about the country’s finances. In the global markets, dollar hovered near a two-week high against a basket of major currencies on Thursday, after extending gains when the Federal Reserve mollified jumpy markets and kept its massive bond-buying stimulus in place
