The rupee on Monday dropped by 11 paise to 64.43 against the US currency(17.48 vs UAE dirham) in the opening session due to fresh dollar demand from importers.

The rupee opened lower at the interbank foreign exchange market and slid by 11 paise to 64.43 per dollar in early trade. It had closed at 64.32 per dollar on Friday.
