The Indian rupee is seen opening weaker, and is headed for its third straight week of losses as outflows increase from local stocks and bonds amid rising U.S. yields.
The implied opening from forwards suggests onshore rupee may start trading around 66.8875 having ended Thursday at 66.7550. The rupee has lost nearly 1 percent this week and is now the worst performing currency in Asia so far this year.
The rupee's weakness and a surge in oil prices is fanning inflationary pressures and keeping appetite for bonds rather muted.
Sovereign bonds are also headed for a third straight weekly loss. They slid Thursday after underwriters had to pick up nearly the entire short debt on sale. Primary dealers bought Rs 2,960 crore of 2023 bonds out of Rs 3,000 crore on sale.
The benchmark 10-year yield rose 2 basis points to 7.76 percent on Thursday and it has jumped 36 basis points this month.
