NEW DELHI - Indian rupee faces yet another histitic low against US Dollar and other currencies.
It depreciated 81 paise to 72.65 against the dollar on Monday at the forex market.

Against the UAE dirham, the rupee was trading at 19.77 at 9:30am (UAE time).

On Friday, the rupee had gained 34 paise to close at a one-week high of 71.84 against the US dollar on positive macro data and hopes of policy intervention by the government to defend the volatile currency
