The Indian rupee advanced 20 paise to 76.73 against the US dollar (20.9 versus the UAE dirham) in the opening trade on Tuesday amid a slight pullback in oil prices and a weak dollar.
Forex traders said the appreciation in the rupee will be limited as the deepening Russia-Ukraine conflict has sapped risk appetite in the market, pushing investors towards safe-haven assets.
At the Indian interbank foreign exchange, the rupee opened on a weak note at 77.02 against the US dollar, then pared its initial losses and touched 76.73, registering a gain of 20 paise from the previous close.
On Monday, the rupee slid for the fourth straight session and tanked 76 paise to close at 76.93, after touching its lifetime low of 77 against the US dollar, as crude oil prices climbed to multi-year highs amid the Russia-Ukraine crisis.
The Indian rupee opened higher versus the US dollar amid a slight pullback in crude oil prices and a weak dollar, said Sriram Iyer, senior research analyst at Reliance Securities.
The Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) dollar-rupee sell-buy swap worth $5 billion on Tuesday will help traders gauge the central bank’s stance on the rupee and forwards, Iyer said, adding that markets could continue to remain volatile.
Meanwhile, the dollar index, which gauges the greenback’s strength against a basket of six currencies, fell 0.16 per cent to 99.13.
Meanwhile, global oil benchmark Brent crude futures jumped 1.79 per cent to $125.41 per barrel.
