On October 4, the rupee had settled at 74.31 against the U.S. dollar.
The rupee fell 13 paise to close at 74.44 (provisional) against the U.S. dollar on Tuesday weighed down by the strengthening of the greenback in the overseas market and rising crude oil prices.
At the interbank foreign exchange market, the local currency opened on a weak note and witnessed an intra-day high of 74.41 and a low of 74.63 against the U.S. dollar in day trade.
The local unit finally settled at 74.44 a dollar, down 13 paise over its previous close. On Monday, the rupee had settled at 74.31 against the US dollar.
