The Indian rupee appreciated four paise to 79.80 against the US dollar (21.74 versus the UAE dirham) on Monday morning, supported by receding crude prices in global markets.

At the Indian interbank foreign exchange, the rupee opened lower at 79.90 against the dollar but recovered lost ground to quote 79.80, registering a gain of four paise over its previous close.
In the previous session, the rupee had depreciated 20 paise to close at 79.84 against the dollar.
The dollar index, which gauges the greenback’s strength against a basket of six currencies, slipped 0.05 per cent to 108.11.
Brent crude futures, the global oil benchmark, declined 1.14 per cent to $95.62 per barrel.
In the Indian equity market, the 30-share BSE Sensex was trading 351.18 points or 0.59 per cent down at 59,294.97. Similarly, the broader NSE Nifty fell 107.35 points or 0.60 per cent to 17,651.10.
