India, Dec. 16 -- The rupee slipped 9 paise to touch a record low of 90.87 against the US dollar in early trade on Tuesday, pressured by continued foreign institutional investor (FII) outflows and the lack of progress on the India–US trade deal.
Forex traders said the fall was partially contained by a softer US dollar and easing global crude oil prices. At the interbank forex market, the domestic currency opened at its lifetime low of 90.87, down from the previous close, and moved in a narrow range of 90.77 to 90.87 in early trading.
