The rupee pared its initial gains to settle down by 47 paise at 81.80 (provisional) against the US dollar on Monday weighed down by weak domestic markets and rise in crude oil prices.
Forex traders said a weak dollar in the overseas market cushioned the downside for the local unit.
During the day, the local unit witnessed an intraday high of 81.25 and a low of 81.82.
On Friday, the rupee had settled down by 7 paise at 81.33 against the dollar.
The dollar index, which gauges the greenback’s strength against a basket of six currencies, fell 0.10 per cent to 104.44.
Global oil benchmark Brent crude futures rose 1.82 per cent to USD 87.13 per barrel.
According to Anuj Choudhary – Research Analyst at Sharekhan by BNP Paribas, the Indian rupee depreciated on Monday on weak domestic markets and higher crude oil prices. However, the weak US Dollar cushioned the downside.

The US Dollar declined on optimism over reopening in China. However, upbeat job market data cushioned the downside. The US non-farm payrolls added 2.63 lakh jobs in November, beating estimates of 2 lakh jobs, Choudhary said.
“We expect the rupee to trade with a negative bias on weak domestic markets and recovery in crude oil. Any fresh outflows by FIIs may also weigh on rupee. However, a weak dollar may support Rupee,” Choudhary said.
He further noted that “investors may remain cautious ahead of RBI’s monetary policy outcome on Wednesday. There are expectations of a 35-bps rate hike.” The Reserve Bank may opt for a lower rate increase of 25-35 basis points in lending rates amid retail inflation showing signs of moderation and the need to push growth, according to experts.
The RBI will come out with its next bi-monthly policy review on December 7, at the end of a three-day meeting of the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) beginning Monday.
