Mumbai, Jan 29: The rupee Tuesday depreciated 12 paise to 71.22 in early trade amid strengthening American currency and rising crude prices. Forex traders said strengthening US dollar against some currencies overseas and lower opening of domestic equities weighed on the local unit. However, fresh foreign fund inflows capped the losses for the domestic unit.
