Rupee falls by 21 paise in early trade
The Indian rupee today fell by 21 paise against the dollar in early trade due to strong demand for the US currency from refiners and importers amid the greenback firming against other Asian currencies.
The rupee on Tuesday fell marginally by 4 paise to trade at fresh one-week low of 53.95 against the US dollar in early trade on the Interbank Foreign Exchange due to appreciation of the American currency against the euro overseas and a weak opening in the domestic equity market.
