 "Rupee weakens 17 paise against dollar")
The rupee depreciated by another 17 paise to 66.63 against the dollar in early trade today as the US currency strengthened in overseas markets.
Forex dealers said persistent demand for the dollar from importers and sustained capital outflows by foreign funds also weighed on the rupee.
Early gains in stock markets, however, limited the rupee losses against dollar, they added.
Meanwhile, the benchmark Sensex rose by 148.11 points, or 0.59%, to 25,350.01 in early trade.
