The Indian Rupee slips to Rs. 70.93 against the US Dollar in the Opening trade on Friday, 27th September 2019 amidst a stronger dollar in the overseas market.

US currency rose to multi-weeks high against the major global currencies because of the impeachment probe into US President Donald Trump weighed on the investor sentiment.

All the while, the crude oil prices had also eased after a quick recovery in Saudi Arabia's production which was hit by many attacks at its oil refineries. The Brent North Sea crude had declined a 0.8 percent to USD 62.21 per barrel.

Easing the crude oil prices and foreign fund inflows brought losses in the Indian rupee against the US dollar, analysts explained.
