In high volatility at the Interbank Foreign Exchange (Forex) market, the domestic unit opened better at 41.96/98 a dollar from Monday''s close of 42.05/06 following weak dollar overseas and firm equity markets in early trade. However, negative turnaround in local share markets and sustained capital outflows weighed on the rupee sentiment. It, finally ended the day lower at 42.10/12. It moved in a wide range of 41.96 and 42.22 a dollar.
