Reuters Market Eye - The rupee is trading at 61.43/44 versus its close of 61.2350/2450, hurt by broad gains in the dollar following the U.S. Federal Reserve's decision to keep its massive bond-buying stimulus in place.
The dollar trading at around two-week highs against a basket of six major currencies.
The BSE Sensex trading down 0.2 percent.
Traders expect the pair to hold in a 60.90 to 61.80 range until the end of next week.
Budget deficit data for April-September due at 1600 IST will be watched closely by dealers.
