Rupee falls 32 paise to all-time low of 89.85 against dollar in early trade

The rupee depreciated 32 paise to an all-time low of 89.85 against the US dollar in early trade on Tuesday, weighed down by the broad strength of the American currency in overseas markets and persistent foreign fund outflows.
