Mumbai: The Indian rupee depreciated against the US dollar in early trade on Thursday. The strengthening of US dollar weighed on investor sentiments. However, the positive trend in domestic equities supported the domestic currency and restricted the depreciating bias.
At the interbank foreign exchange, the domestic currency opened at 82.36 against the US dollar, then fell to 82.41, registering a decline of 4 paise over its last close. On Wednesday, the Indian rupee settled at 82.37 against the dollar.
