Rupee slips 1 paisa against Dollar to 64.46

The Rupee on Friday edged lower by 1 paisa to 64.46 against the Dollar due to fresh buying of the American currency by importers.

Traders said fresh demand of the US currency from importers weighed, but a higher stock opening and Dollar's weakness against other currencies overseas capped the Rupee's fall.
