Rupee trades in narrow range against U.S. dollar in early trade

The rupee's performance is being impacted by high crude oil prices and sustained foreign fund outflows, which are putting downward pressure on the currency. The Reserve Bank of India's upcoming rate decision will be closely watched to see how it affects the rupee's value.
