The Indian rupee rose by 20 paise to 81.50 against the US currency (22.20 against the UAE dirham) in morning trade on Wednesday following a weak dollar in the global markets.
Early losses in the Indian stock markets and a rebound in oil prices, however, restricted the rupee’s gains.
At the Indian interbank foreign exchange, the rupee opened higher at 81.62 and rose further to a high of 81.50 in morning trade. The South Asian currency had closed lower at 81.70 on Tuesday.
The US dollar index, which gauges the greenback’s strength against a basket of six currencies, slipped 0.04 per cent to 101.88.
Brent crude was trading 0.43 per cent lower at $86.48 per barrel while the oil for the Indian basket traded down 2.69 per cent at $79.98 per barrel.
On the Indian equity market front, the 30-share BSE Sensex declined by 268 points or 0.44 per cent to 60,709.93. The broader NSE Nifty declined by 90.25 points or 0.5 per cent to 18,028.05.
