The partially convertible rupee was at 65.62/65 per dollar at 11.39 a.m., after hitting a record low of 65.71 and sharply below its close of 64.30/31 on Monday. The benchmark 10-year bond yield was trading up 13 basis points on the day at 8.47 percent. The benchmark BSE Sensex was down 2.7 percent, while the broader Nifty was lower 2.9 percent.
