Rupee falls 18 paise to close at all-time low of 79.03 against U.S. dollar

The rupee depreciated 18 paise to close at a record low of 79.03 (provisional) against the United States dollar on Wednesday, weighed down by persistent foreign capital outflows, a strong dollar overseas and surge in crude oil prices.

At the interbank foreign exchange market, the rupee opened lower at 78.86 against the greenback and finally settled at 79.03, down 18 paise over its previous close.

During the session, the rupee touched an all-time low of 79.05 against the American currency.
