Rupee weakens past 61/dollar to one month low

Mumbai: The rupee weakened past the key 61 per dollar mark on Wednesday to hit a one-month low, tracking losses in regional currencies and hurt by good demand for the greenback from oil importers.

The partially convertible rupee was trading at 61.01/02 per dollar, after hitting as much as 61.03, its lowest since March 21. The rupee closed at 60.76/77 on Tuesday
