MUMBAI, Sept 5 - The Indian rupee closed weaker on Tuesday as the local unit slipped to the 83 level for the first time in nearly two weeks due to broad weakness in Asian currencies and likely dollar outflows.The Chinese yuan and other Asian currencies dropped after a sluggish data release from China renewed concerns about the country's economic growth trajectory.
Traders said dollar outflows were another reason for the rupee's weakness. While some traders cited corporate dollar outflows, others pointed to equity-related outflows. Meanwhile, the yield on the 10-year U.S. treasury rose slightly to 4.21% in the Asia session, while the two-year treasury yield held steady at 4.90% after rising on Friday.
