Mumbai, May 15 -- The Rupee on Thursday tumbled down 29 paise at 85.55 in the opening session on brisk demand for US dollars by bankers and importers at the Forex market.

The local unit was seen as weak due to the strong dollar against other world currencies, even the volatile equity market in opening trade also put pressure on the domestic unit.

The Rupee recorded intraday highs and lows at 85.45 and 85.60, respectively, the dealer added.
