Indian rupee depreciated against dollar in early trade on Friday due to appreciation of US currency overseas. Besides, some demand for the dollar from importers also weighed on the rupee sentiment. On the global front, the dollar steadied against the euro and yen on Friday after a week of gains as the market braced for US non-farm payrolls data that could spur the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates in September.
The partially convertible currency is currently trading at 63.83, weaker by 7 paise from its previous close of 63.76 on Thursday. The currency touched a high and low of 63.83 and 63.75 respectively.
