MUMBAI: The rupee declined by 19 paise at 62.55 against the US dollar in early trade on Monday at the Interbank Foreign Exchange due to appreciation of the American currency overseas.
Forex dealers said fresh demand for the dollar from importers also weighed on the local currency but a higher opening in the domestic equity market limited the rupee's losses.
