The rupee, which had touched an over four-month high on Monday, weakened by 14 paise to 45.15 against the US dollar in the early trade at the Interbank Foreign Exchange on Tuesday as the American currency firmed up against major currencies.

Besides, weak sentiment on the stock markets also weighed on the rupee sentiment.

Forex traders said weakness in other currencies against the dollar and a weak opening on domestic bourses mainly put pressure on the rupee.
