Rupee down 25 paise against dollar in morning trade
Forex dealers said besides dollar's gains against other Asian currencies, a weak opening in the stock market and increased demand for the American currency from importers also put pressure on the local unit.
The rupee had ended marginally higher by 2 paise at 49.91/92 against the dollar in the previous session. Meanwhile, the BSE benchmark Sensex declined by 103.08 points, or 0.58 per cent, at 17,816.22 in early trade.
