Indian Rupee softens 13 paise against US dollar in early trade

Last updated: May 16, 2016

Mumbai, India (BBN)-Indian rupee weakened by 13 paise to 66.90 against the US dollar in early trade on Monday due to continued demand for the American currency from banks and importers.
Moreover, the US dollar’s gain against other currencies overseas put pressure on the rupee, forex dealers said, reports the PTI.
However, a higher opening of the domestic equity market, capped the rupee’s losses, they added.
The rupee had lost 15 paise to close at 66.77 per dollar at the Interbank Foreign Exchange market on Friday due to higher greenback overseas amid sharp fall in domestic equities.
Meanwhile, the benchmark BSE Sensex recovered by 117.35 points, or 0.46 per cent, to 25,606.92 in early trade.
