Indian rupee fell 9 paise to 95.27 against US dollar in early trade, nearly unchanged from its previous close of 95.21.

Indian shares opened higher on July 6. The Sensex rose 281.40 points to 78,051.03 in early trade. The Nifty also gained 74.60 points to 24,347.05.

Crude oil prices remained below $72 a barrel on Monday after OPEC+ agreed to raise output targets from August and exports through the Strait of Hormuz continued to recover, easing supply concerns.

Brent crude futures fell 24 cents, or 0.33%, to $71.88 a barrel in early trade after rising 0.45% on Friday.

The rupee weakened after it fell nearly 1% last week due to arbitrage-related routine dollar buying by importers and a stronger US dollar amid expectations of a Federal Reserve rate hike.
