Rupee hits life low, trading around 64.40 per dollar

MUMBAI (Reuters) - The rupee hits fresh all-time low, trading around 64.40 per dollar as heavy dollar buying from large state-run banks along with demand from custodian banks hurt the local currency on Wednesday.

The partially convertible rupee was trading at 64.30/40 per dollar, after hitting a record low of 64.40 and down around 1.7 percent on the day.

Traders said there was no signs of RBI's intervention in the spot market so far during the session.
