The Indian rupee appreciated 22 paise to 82.08 against the US dollar (22.36 versus the UAE dirham) in early trade on Tuesday, tracking positive equities and an overnight fall in the dollar index.
At the Indian interbank foreign exchange, the rupee opened at 82.21 against the dollar, then gained further ground to touch 82.08, a gain of 22 paise over its previous close.
On Monday, the rupee depreciated by 11 paise to close at 82.30 against the US dollar.
The rupee started stronger this Tuesday, tracking an overnight fall in the dollar index, said Sriram Iyer, Senior Research Analyst at Reliance Securities.
“RBI's (Reserve Bank of India) continued presence in the markets and oil prices have stabilised and could aid sentiments," Iyer said, adding that Asian and emerging market peers remained weak this Tuesday morning amid recessionary fears and could cap appreciation bias for the local unit.

Brent crude futures, the global oil benchmark, rose 0.32 per cent to $91.91 per barrel.
