Mumbai: The rupee rose by 19 paise to breach the 80 level against the US currency for the first time in two months on Monday due to a weak dollar in overseas markets.

Crude oil prices also declined as traders awaited more clues on Chinese economic recovery and thin Asian trade volumes, analysts said.
The Brent crude declined 0.52 per cent to USD 87.17 per barrel after a recent rally. The oil for Indian basket also dropped 2.51 per cent to USD 82.19 per barrel.
