MUMBAI (Reuters) - The rupee fell below the 67 per dollar mark on Wednesday as uncertainty over a possible U.S.-led military strike against Syria knocked down Asian equity markets and currencies, also pushing the domestic benchmark bond yield to 9 percent.
The partially convertible rupee was trading at a record low of 67.63 per dollar at 0944 IST, sharply below its close of 66.24/25 on Tuesday.
The benchmark 10-year bond yield was up 22 basis points at 9 percent.
