Mumbai: The Indian rupee fell to 55.68/69 per dollar versus its close of 55.5675/5775 on Monday on the back of losses in other Asian currencies.
Traders expect some dollar demand from oil refiners looking to meet month-end import commitments later in the day, which could further drag the domestic currency.
The rupee is seen moving in a 55.50 to 55.80 range during the session, according to traders.
Domestic shares would be watched for cues on foreign fund flows. The equity benchmark Sensex was trading up 0.17% at 20,064.15 at 9:48am on Tuesday.
