The rupee opened at 82.13 against the US dollar and fell 1 paisa to trade at 82.10 in early trade on Wednesday, due to an upswing in the greenback and FIIs withdrawing foreign funds from domestic equities. An increase in crude oil prices also pushed down the Indian currency. Forex traders believe the rupee may slip below 82.04, which could make 81.9 vulnerable again. Meanwhile, the BSE Sensex climbed 185.17 points to trade at 63,512.87, while the NSE Nifty advanced 38.75 points to trade at 18,855.45.
