The rupee opened on a cautious note and fell 10 paise to 69.14 against the US dollar in early trade on Friday amid rising crude oil prices and foreign fund outflows.

Forex traders said rising brent crude prices, cautious opening in domestic equities and foreign fund inflows weighed on the local unit, while weakening of the greenback vis-a-vis other currencies overseas added support to the local unit and restricted the downfall.
Meanwhile, brent crude futures, the global oil benchmark, rose 0.09 per cent to $63.45 per barrel.

Foreign institutional investors (FIIs) remained net sellers in the capital markets, pulling out Rs126.65 crore Thursday, as per provisional data.
