Rupee falls 25 paise to 95.33 against US dollar in early trade

Thursday's early market saw the Indian rupee slip against the US dollar amid heightened crude oil prices and a consistent demand for the dollar. With Brent crude priced over USD 100, concerns about India's import costs are mounting. Persistent high oil prices might add additional strain on the rupee. Meanwhile, domestic equity markets posted minor gains, but foreign investors opted to offload their shares.
