Indian Rupee opens 25 paise lower against US dollar at 67.28

Last updated: May 30, 2016

Mumbai, India (BBN)-Indian rupee weakened 25 paise to 67.28 against the US dollar in early trade following month-end demand for the American currency from importers and banks.
Forex dealers said the US dollar’s gain against other currencies overseas also gave the rupee the sinking feeling, reports the PTI.
However, a higher opening of the domestic equity market capped the losses.
The rupee had appreciated 14 paise against the American currency to end at a one-week high of 67.03 on Friday on the back of robust dollar inflows in equities.
Meanwhile, the benchmark BSE Sensex rose further by 116.82 points, or 0.43 per cent, to 26,770.42 in early trade.
