Sep-23-2020

Indian rupee weakened against the US dollar on Wednesday due to strengthening of American currency against its major peers overseas. Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) offloaded shares worth Rs 2,072.76 crore on Tuesday, exchange data showed. Though, firm domestic equity market and lower crude prices supported rupee and limited its fall. On the global front, the US dollar gained against major currencies tracked by positive US economic data and concerns about a second wave of corona virus infections in Europe and Britain.
