The Indian rupee depreciated six paise to 81.77 against the US dollar (22.28 versus the UAE dirham) in early trade on Monday, tracking a lacklustre trend in the Indian equity markets and a firm American currency overseas.
However, lower crude prices in the international market and fresh foreign fund inflows restricted the rupee’s fall, forex dealers said.
At the Indian interbank foreign exchange, the rupee opened weak at 81.81 against the dollar, then gained some ground to quote 81.77, registering a decline of six paise over its previous close.
In the previous session on Friday, the rupee weakened by just one paisa to end at 81.71 against the dollar.
The dollar index, which gauges the greenback’s strength against a basket of six currencies, rose 0.41 per cent to 106.39.
