The rupee depreciated 13 paise to close at 95.74 against the US dollar on Tuesday, weighed down by elevated crude oil prices and lingering geopolitical tensions in West Asia.
Forex traders said the USD/INR pair is likely to trade with a slight negative bias, pressured by the delay in the deal between the US and Iran, rising crude oil prices and broader dollar support.
