The Indian rupee took a hefty knock, plunging 21 paise, to 65.18 against the US dollar, as fiscal deficit concerns and global trade war fears kept forex traders wary. The rupee opened on a bullish note at 64.88 against Tuesday’s close of 64.97 at the inter-bank foreign exchange and traded in a tight range. It turned volatile mid afternoon and succumbed to heavy selling pressure, breaching the key 65-mark to touch a low of 65.30 before recouping early losses towards the fag-end trade to settle at 65.18, a steep loss of 21 paise.
