Mumbai: The rupee on Thursday settled 5 paise down at 75.76 against the US dollar amid escalating tension between the US and China. Forex traders said the rupee traded in a narrow range as positive domestic equities and improving risk appetite were offset by a flare-up in US-China tensions. At the interbank forex market, the rupee opened weak at 75.90, but pared most initial losses and finally settled at 75.76 against the US dollar, down 5 paise over its last close.
