The Indian rupee appreciated 8 paise to 81.60 against the US dollar (22.23 versus the UAE dirham) in early trade on Tuesday as foreign capital inflows and a firm trend in the Indian equity market boosted investor sentiments.
Besides, a weak American currency in the overseas market helped the local unit, forex dealers said.
At the Indian interbank foreign exchange, the rupee opened strong at 81.58 against the dollar, then inched lower to quote at 81.60, registering a rise of 8 paise over its previous close.
In the previous session on Monday, the rupee rose 3 paise to end at 81.68 against the dollar.
The dollar index, which gauges the greenback’s strength against a basket of six currencies, slipped 0.38 per cent to 106.28.
