In the wake of hitting all-time low, the Indian rupee recuperated a portion of its losses to settle 10 paise down at 79.94 against the US dollar on Monday, following the strength of the American currency and firm crude oil rates.

At the interbank foreign exchange market, the local currency opened at 80.10 and tumbled to its low of 80.15 against the US dollar in intra-day exchange.

The nearby unit at last settled at 79.94 a dollar, down 10 paise over its past close of 79.84.

On July 20, the rupee interestingly shut beneath the 80-mark at 80.05 against the American money.

In the mean time, the dollar record, which measures the greenback's solidarity against a crate of six monetary standards, was exchanging 0.28 per cent higher at 109.10, after Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell embraced a hawkish tone to fight expansion.

Global markets fell forcefully by more than 2 per cent in the midst of a hawkish discourse by US Fed Chair Jerome Powell. Brent crude futures, the worldwide oil benchmark, rose by 0.64 per cent to USD 101.64 per barrel.
