The Indian rupee depreciated by 12 paise to 79.90 against the US dollar (21.77 versus the UAE dirham) in opening trade on Tuesday, weighed down by the strength of the American currency in the overseas market.

Meanwhile, the dollar index, which gauges the greenback’s strength against a basket of six currencies, rose 0.08 per cent to 109.62.
The rupee opened at 79.80 as the dollar index eased slightly from the 110 level. Moreover, the euro and British pound moved up after a big fall due to Russian gas issues, said Anil Kumar Bhansali, Head of Treasury, Finrex Treasury Advisors.
“The US dollar was well bid as the rupee fell to 79.90 before recovering to 79.85 levels,” Bhansali said, adding that the range is expected to be between 79.50 to 80.
