The Indian rupee depreciated by 11 paise to 74.16 against the US dollar (20.20 versus the UAE dirham) at the opening of the market on Wednesday, tracking a lacklustre trend in the Indian equity market and the firm American dollar.

At the Indian interbank foreign exchange, the rupee opened on a weak note at 74.11, then fell further to 74.16, registering a decline of 11 paise from the last close.


On Tuesday, the rupee had closed at 74.05 against the US dollar.

Meanwhile, the dollar index rose by 0.08 per cent to 94.03.

Bhansali further said that "importers to keep buying near to 74.00 and below. Exporters will wait for 74.40 and 74.50 before they begin to sell."
