The Indian rupee ended 18 paise lower on January 16 due to a sharp jump in Brent crude prices, rising dollar index and outflows from foreign investors. The domestic currency ended at 86.5500 against the dollar against a close of 86.3625 in the previous session. The dollar index, which tracks the US currency's value against six of its major peers, rose to 109.113.
