India, May 26 -- The Indian rupee depreciated by 47 paise to close at 95.73 (provisional) against the US dollar on Tuesday amid renewed geopolitical tensions in West Asia and a rise in crude oil prices.

Forex traders said strength in the US dollar and weakness in domestic equity markets also weighed on the local currency.

At the interbank foreign exchange market, the rupee opened at 95.43 against the US dollar and touched an intraday high of 95.33 and a low of 95.76 during the trading session.
