The rupee opened at 71.18/$ on Tuesday, lower by 8 paise against the previous day's close of 71.10/$ as the USD strengthened on buying by banks and importers.
Also supporting the fall in the currency was the jump in crude prices following rising tensions in the Middle East and North Africa. Oil prices rose to a one-weak high on Monday after two large crude production bases in Libya began shutting down amid a military blockade, tightening supply.
The rupee slipped 3 paise to close at 71.11/$ on Monday, owing to a rise in crude oil prices and weakness in domestic equities.
Meanwhile, domestic equity benchmarks extended losses after plunging by ~1% yesterday.
