The Indian rupee opened marginally lower against the US dollar on Friday, snapping three-day gaining streak, as the dollar index reached near two-month high amid cautiousness ahead of Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell's speech. The local currency opened at 82.58 as compared to previous close of 82.57 a dollar.
The two key equity benchmarks, Sensex and Nifty, on Friday began in the red tracking a weak note amid tepid global trends. The BSE Sensex was down 204 points to 65,048. On the other hand, the NSE Nifty50 was trading at 19,323, down 64 points.
