FII outflows and weak sentiments in the domestic equity markets further pressured the local unit, according to Forex traders.
At the interbank foreign exchange, the rupee opened at 91.92 against the U.S. dollar and traded in the range of 91.85-92.06 before settling at 92.01 (provisional), down 16 paise from its previous close.

Markets will also watch out for geopolitical developments in West Asia, " Anuj Choudhary, Research Analyst, Mirae Asset ShareKhan, said.
