In the currency market, rupee opened lower by 11 paise at 64.90 per dollar on Wednesday versus previous close 64.79.
"Rupee will trade with a negative bias on back of stronger dollar as well as weakness in the domestic equity market. 64.80 is the immediate support for the rupee and more weakness can be seen beyond the support."
"The trading range for the spot USD-INR is expected to be 64.50-65," he added.
The US dollar rose to a six-year high as it extends the rebound from a three-year low helped by rising treasury yields and profit-booking by forex traders.
Among global markets, stock markets dipped after a long winning run on Wall Street ended overnight, while the dollar gained momentum on Wednesday as yields on US Treasury debt headed for highs not seen in four years.
