Snapping its two-session uptrend, the rupee on Friday slipped 5 paise to 64.61 a dollar due to uptick in demand for the American currency and persistent capital outflows.

The domestic currency largely moved in a narrow range throughout the day.

Consistent demand for the greenback from foreign funds predominantly weighed on the rupee.

The domestic unit had gained 7 paise in last two days.
