Moreover, a negative trend in domestic equities and a firm greenback overseas sapped investor appetite, forex traders said. At the interbank foreign exchange market, the local currency opened at 82.68, then fell further to an all-time intra-day low of 82.69. "The Indian rupee pared opening losses on possible central bank intervention and corporate inflows...
