The Indian rupee was trading lower against the dollar in early session, underperforming other regional currencies, after India’s trade deficit widened on a sequential basis to more-than-expected levels. In addition to worries on the oil front, rupee has to contend with the consistent weakness in domestic equities. Indian equities today are once again underperforming and I think this trend may continue on account of rising political risk premiums.
