The rupee again hit the 67-mark against the US dollar after plunging 24 paise in early trade today on sustained demand for the American currency from importers and bankers amid a lower opening in the domestic equity market.
The dollar was firm against some global currencies which also weighed on the rupee, dealers said.
On Friday, the local currency ended 5 paise lower at 66.76 a dollar on persistent demand for the US dollar from banks and importers and weakness in equities.
