The Indian rupee witnessed range-bound trading on Tuesday morning as firming oil prices and concerns about the hawkish US Federal Reserve offset the support from the overnight weakness of the American currency.
At the Indian interbank foreign exchange, the rupee opened at 79.73 against the dollar and moved in a narrow range. It touched an early low of 79.79 in initial deals.
On Monday, the rupee rose by 12 paise to close at 79.78 against the dollar.
Traders said the rupee opened marginally stronger on Tuesday morning, tracking the overnight weakness of the dollar. However, muted Indian equities and foreign fund outflows weighed on the rupee.
Investors will await fresh triggers this week from the US Fed event and could refrain themselves from taking large positions, said Sriram Iyer, senior research analyst at Reliance Securities.
