Indian rupee has witnessed mild weakness against the U.S. dollar on Monday amid stronger dollar and fund out flows by foreign institutional investors (FIIs). FIIs have sold securities worth Rs 7,395.41 crore on Friday’s session. Besides, investors were awaiting for release of key U.S. economic data as well as the minutes from the January FOMC meeting for more clues on U.S. Federal Reserves’ interest rate outlook. Meanwhile, India's wholesale price index (WPI) inflation rose in the month of January 2026 at 1.81% as compared to 0.83% in December 2025, driven by higher prices of non-food articles, crude petroleum & natural gas and manufactured items. On the global front, the British pound strengthened against other major currencies in the European session on Monday, as investors awaited the release of the U.K.'s inflation and employment figures. 

Finally, the rupee ended at 90.74 (Provisional), weakened by 8 paise from its previous close of 90.66 on Friday. The currency touched a high and low of 90.74 and 90.61 respectively.
