Rupee traded flat at 82.82 on Thursday in early trends against a dollar after the previous close of 82.79 amid sharp losses in the domestic equity markets and firm crude oil prices. The US dollar's weakness against major world currencies and forex inflows aided sentiment, but recession fears following US jobless data weighed on the local currency, PTI reported.

When the purchasing power of the rupee falls, the rupee is said to depreciate. This means that in the INR to USD trade, more rupees are required to purchase a dollar. The exchange rate is determined by a number of factors, including the country's inflation rate, interest rates, and economic and political situation.
