Market mayhem continues, rupee breaches 67 against dollar

MUMBAI: The rupee fell below the 67 per dollar mark on Wednesday as uncertainty over a possible US-led military strike against Syria knocked down Asian equity markets and currencies, also pushing the domestic benchmark bond yield to 9 percent.

The partially convertible rupee was trading at a record low of 67.40/45 per dollar, sharply below its close of 66.24/25 on Tuesday.

The benchmark 10-year bond yield was up 22 basis points at 9 percent.
