Indian Rupee down 5 paise against US dollar

Mumbai, India (BBN)-The rupee depreciated by five paise to 63.71 against the dollar in early trade on Tuesday due to rise in greenback against other currencies overseas.

The increased demand for the US currency from importers also impacted the rupee sentiment, dealers said, reports the Press Trust of India.

The dollar gained against other currencies overseas on expectations of increase in interest rates by the US Federal Reserve in coming months.

The rupee had lost 19 paise to close at three-week low of 63.66 against the US dollar on Monday on fresh demand for American currency from banks and importers on the back of a higher greenback in overseas markets.
