Mumbai: The rupee depreciated by 11 paise to 70.95 against the US dollar in morning trade on Wednesday, as investors were cautious ahead of the US Federal Reserve's interest rate decision.

Besides, a strengthening greenback against other overseas currencies also kept investors on the edge, forex dealers said.
