Yesterday, the rupee had lost 56 paise — the second biggest single-day fall of 2018 — to end at a new 16-month low of 68.07 as panic dollar demand rattled the currency market.
Traders said the dollar’s strength against other currencies overseas, as a surge in the benchmark 10-year Treasury yield above 3 per cent reignited a rally that had lost steam last week, capped the rupee’s gains.
Meanwhile, the benchmark BSE Sensex was down 176.03 points, or 0.49 per cent, to 35,367.91 in early trade today.
