The weakness was on the back of heavy forex outflows due to strengthening of US treasury yields. At the interbank foreign exchange, the rupee opened at 81.90 and later fell to 82.02 to a dollar in day trade due to risk-averse sentiment among investors. The rupee finally settled at 81.93, its all-time closing low. PTI
