Rupee rises 3 paise to 83.42 against USD

MUMBAI [Maha Media]: The rupee appreciated 3 paise to 83.42 against the US dollar in early trade on Monday, supported by a firm trend in domestic equities.

Forex traders said the strength of the American currency in the overseas market and foreign fund outflows weighed on the local unit and restricted the up move.

At the interbank foreign exchange market, the local unit opened at 83.43 against the greenback. It later touched 83.42 in initial trade, registering a rise of 3 paise from its previous close.
