Reuters Market Eye - The rupee is trading at 61.12/13 against the dollar versus its close of 61.23/24 on Thursday, tracking a continued sell-off in the greenback across all major currencies on worries of the economic impact from the weeks-long U.S. government shutdown.

The dollar nursed losses near an eight-month low against a basket of currencies on Friday as traders focused on the economic impact of an acrimonious showdown in Washington that dragged the United States to the brink of a debt default.
