Rupee falls 6 paise against dollar in morning trade

In line with the stock market, the rupee failed to maintain initial gains against the dollar and was quoted lower by six paise to 63.57 on fresh demand for the American currency from banks and importers due to heavy foreign capital outflows.
The rupee resumed higher at 63.45 as against Wednesday's closing level of 63.51 at the Interbank Foreign Exchange (Forex) on initial selling of dollars by banks and exporters.
However, it failed to maintain initial gains and dropped to 63.64 before quoting 63.57 at 1000 hours.
