Published on: 

The rupee depreciated 9 paise to close at 75.72 against the US dollar on Wednesday due to growth concerns as a survey showed that the services sector contracted in April.

Weakness in Asian currencies following Chinese yuan dropping by 0.6 per cent against the US dollar and sustained foreign fund outflows also weighed on the rupee.

Inflation concerns following the Centre and some states increased taxes on petroleum products also hit investor sentiment.
