Indian rupee trades higher against UAE dirham in early trade
It opened on a flat note after Monday's volatile session
The Indian rupee appreciated seven paise to 79.84 against the US dollar (21.75 versus the UAE dirham) in early trade on Tuesday in line with a positive trend in the Indian equities.
However, higher oil prices and month-end dollar demand could restrict the gains for the local unit, forex traders said.
At the Indian interbank foreign exchange, the rupee opened at 79.92 against the American dollar and touched 79.84 in initial deals, registering a gain of 7 paise over the last close.
On Monday, the rupee closed at 79.91 against the US dollar.
The rupee opened on a flat note after Monday's volatile session in which the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) had intervened to support the currency amid a fall in equities and a rise in the dollar index, according to experts.
