MUMBAI (Reuters) - The rupee breached the psychological 63 per dollar mark, to hit its lowest level in more than two months on Monday, tracking heavy losses in the domestic share market, while a broad fall in other regional currencies also hurt.

The partially convertible rupee was trading at 63.00/01 per dollar at 2:37 p.m. after hitting 63.06, its weakest since November 22. It had closed at 62.66/67 on Friday.

The Sensex is trading down 1.8 percent.
