Reuters Market Eye - The rupee falls as dealers find recent gains overdone, while NDF related buying also hurts. The pair at 61.30/31 versus 61.04/05 on Tuesday.

"The recent INR upmove appears to be overdone. Let us come back to basics and fundamentals," the chief of dealing at a private bank said.

Foreign funds bought Indian cash shares of $64.82 million on Tuesday.

The dollar wobbled near a six-week low against a basket of currencies on Wednesday, hampered by a growing view that the Federal Reserve needs more positive economic data before it decides to start reducing its monetary stimulus.

Almost all Asian currencies trading stronger compared with the dollar.
