Falling for the second straight day, the rupee on Tuesday lost 10 paise against the US dollar to settle at 67.26 due to sustained demand for the American currency from banks and importers.
Some caution ahead of the GDP growth data and buoyant dollar overseas predominantly impacted trading sentiments. Sluggish local equity markets after a five-day rally also weighed on trade, though smooth supply of dollars due to persistent capital inflows into equities and debts largely cushioned the fall.
