Strength in the dollar against other currencies overseas and a lower opening in domestic equities kept the pressure on the domestic unit.

The rupee today closed marginally down at 64.94 against the US currency due to continued foreign fund outflows, weak trade data and expectations of a rate hike by the US Federal Reserve.

The domestic unit opened lower at 64.95 per dollar as against yesterday’s close of 64.93 at the inter-bank foreign exchange on unabated foreign fund outflows.

The domestic unit hovered between 64.85 and 64.99 during the day before ending at 64.94, down by 1 paisa.
