The rupee came under pressure against the dollar today slipping 11 paise to 65.32 after upbeat economic data bolstered prospects of a US interest rate increase next month and beyond.

A higher interest regime pulls investors looking for more returns away from emerging markets assets that are considered risky.

The American unit strengthened overseas, too.

Forex dealers said increased demand for the US currency from importers and the greenback's gains against other currencies overseas put pressure on the rupee.

Yesterday, the rupee had rebounded 21 paise to close at 65.21 against the US currency, ending its two-day slide on fresh bouts of dollar selling even as trade deficit widened alarmingly to a three-year high.

Meanwhile, the benchmark BSE Sensex went up 163.80 points, or 0.49 per cent, to 32,924.24 in early session today.

Yield on the Indian benchmark bond dropped 3 basis points yesterday as buyers saw value in picking up bonds at these levels. A decline in oil prices also helped. However, the word on the street is still caution as fundamental risks of higher inflation, fiscal slippage and no rate cuts will continue to weigh on the sentiment. Not to forget the heavy supply of bonds. The 10-year bond yields are biased to stay above 7 percent in the short term.

In the currency market, the rupee is likely to open higher as a selloff in Asian stocks ends. The South Korean won is up 0.6 percent against the dollar and rupee may see too riding on a positive wave. A range of 65-65.30 a dollar is expected in the session.
