On Tuesday, the rupee had declined by 17 paise to close at its all-time low of 77.71 against the US currency as surging US bond yields dampened the appeal of riskier assets.

Rupee continued to trade in a narrow range and volatility remained low despite marginal weakness in domestic and global equities, said Gaurang Somaiya, Forex & Bullion Analyst, Motilal Oswal Financial Services.
On the domestic front, GDP and fiscal numbers were released and the numbers came in mixed and had limited impact on the currency, Somaiya said.
