Rupee falls 10 paise to 75.22 against U.S. dollar in early trade

In the previous session, the rupee had settled at 75.12 against the greenback.

The rupee depreciated 10 paise to 75.22 against the U.S. dollar in opening trade on Monday, tracking the subdued domestic equities and a firm American dollar amid growing concerns over the uncertainty triggered by the Omicron variant.

Besides, persistent foreign capital outflows and rising crude prices also weighed on investor sentiments, traders said.

At the interbank foreign exchange, the rupee opened weak and was trading at 75.22 against the American dollar in early deals, registering a decline of 10 paise from the last close.
