Rupee trades at 55.81/82 versus its previous close of 55.65/66, after hitting 55.8375, its weakest since August 28, tracking weakness in the domestic share market and a risk averse sentiment regionally.
The Sensex trades down 0.3 percent, with most other Asian currencies also trading weaker versus the dollar.
