Mumbai: The rupee trimmed initial losses but was still trading lower by 4 paise to 62.08 against the US dollar in late morning deals today on bouts of demand for the American currency from banks and importers.

The domestic currency resumed lower at 62.12 per dollar as against the previous close of 62.04 at the Interbank Foreign Exchange (Forex) and weakened further to 62.15 on sustained dollar demand from importers.

In New York, the dollar was trading higher against major rivals late yesterday.
