The Indian rupee slipped 10 paise to 77.78 against the US dollar (21.19 versus the UAE dirham) in early trade on Thursday, as high crude oil prices and persistent foreign capital outflows weigh investor sentiments.
At the Indian interbank foreign exchange, the rupee opened at 77.74 against the American dollar, then lost ground to quote at 77.78, registering a fall of 10 paise from the last close.
On Wednesday, the rupee recovered from its record low to close 10 paise higher at 77.68 against the American currency.
The rupee is hovering around its lifetime low of 77.78 against the US dollar, tracking the strength of the American currency in the overseas market and firm crude oil prices.
The rupee opened on a bearish note as crude oil neared $125 per barrel, said Anil Kumar Bhansali, Head of Treasury, Finrex Treasury Advisors.
"Only RBI (Reserve Bank of India) supports the rupee while the flows have totally dried out. Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPIs) continue the sell-mode for equities and buy-mode for US dollar," Bhansali said.
Moreover, Asian currencies are trading on a weak note, Bhansali said, adding that there is "no effect of a rate hike by RBI on Wednesday on the rupee as buyers of the dollar are in abundance."
Global oil benchmark Brent crude futures rose 0.26 per cent to $123.90 per barrel.
