India, Jan. 13 -- The Indian rupee weakened by 5 paise to trade at 90.22 against the US dollar in early trading on Tuesday, pressured by a stronger greenback, rising crude oil prices and continued foreign fund outflows.
Analysts said heightened geopolitical tensions and persistent global trade uncertainties have boosted demand for the dollar worldwide, lending strength to the US currency and weighing on the rupee.
In the interbank foreign exchange market, the rupee opened at 90.24 and briefly recovered to 90.22 in early deals, still marking a 5-paise decline from its previous close.
