India, March 16 -- The Indian rupee weakened by 13 paise to 92.43 against the US dollar in early trade on Monday, pressured by heavy foreign fund outflows and rising crude oil prices amid geopolitical uncertainties.

According to forex traders, volatile sentiment in domestic equity markets also weighed on the local currency, even as the US dollar eased from higher levels.

At the interbank foreign exchange, the rupee opened at 92.44 and hovered near its record intraday low, trading at 92.43 against the greenback, down 13 paise from its previous close.
