The rupee had lost 44 paise to close at 10-week low of 63.10 against the dollar in yesterday's trade amid fears that further stimulus tapering by the US Federal Reserve will hit capital inflows.
Forex dealers said besides increased dollar demand from importers ahead of the RBI policy review, weakness in other currencies overseas against the American unit put pressure on the rupee, but a higher opening of the domestic equity market capped the fall.
