India, Dec. 3 -- The rupee weakened past the 90-per-dollar mark for the first time on Wednesday, dipping 6 paise to 90.02 in early trading. The decline came as banks continued to purchase US dollars at higher levels and foreign investor outflows persisted.
Forex traders said the fall was partially offset by a softer US dollar index and easing global crude oil prices.
At the interbank forex market, the currency opened at 89.96 against the dollar and hit a fresh intraday low of 90.15. It later recovered slightly to 90.02, still 6 paise lower than its previous close.
