The rupee was trading weak at 67.11 in the evening on sustained demand for the American currency from importers.
Forex dealers said the dollar’s strength against some other currencies overseas weighed on the rupee but a firm domestic equity market capped the losses.
The domestic unit opened weak by 8 paise at 67.14 against the previous close of 67.06 at the Interbank Foreign Exchange market today.
It hovered in a range of 67.15 and 67.08 before quoting at 67.11, down 5 paise at 4.50 pm local time.
Meanwhile, the benchmark BSE index closed 69.73 points or 0.25 per cent higher at 28,059.94.
In the overseas market, the dollar crept up on Wednesday after falling the previous day, but was unable to break out of its recent trading ranges, as investors focused on a gathering of central bankers for clues on when the US Federal Reserve will hike interest rates again.
