Rupee Falls 8 Paise to 82.68 Against USD

Mumbai: The rupee depreciated 8 paise to 82.68 against the US dollar in early trade on Friday amid a muted trend in domestic equities and rising crude oil prices.

However, sustained foreign fund inflows supported the local unit and contained the fall.

At the interbank foreign exchange, the domestic unit opened at 82.68, registering a decline of 8 paise over its last close.
