On Friday, the currency had closed 4 paise down at 73.68 against the U.S. dollar.
The rupee weakened by 15 paise to close at 73.83 (provisional) against the U.S. dollar on Monday as a stronger greenback against key rivals and rising crude oil prices weighed on investor sentiment.
Besides, multiple bouts of volatility on domestic equities front and mixed cues from global financial markets brought the rupee more under pressure, analysts observed.
At the interbank Foreign exchange market, the rupee opened on a weak note at 73.70 and slid to the day's lowest level at 73.84 a dollar towards the fag-end of the session. For a brief period, it ventured into positive territory and touched a high of 73.60.
