MUMBAI, SEP 21: The Rupee on Wednesday slipped nine paise at 79.83 in the opening session on rising demand for US Dollar from bankers and importers, dealers at the Foreign Exchange said.

The local unit was seen as weak due to the strong Dollar against other world currencies amid the negative equity market in early trade.

The Rupee unit registered days high and low at 79.80 and 79.86 respectively against the US Dollar, the dealer added. (UNI)
