Rupee against dollar

Meanwhile, the Indian rupee witnessed range-bound trade in the morning session on Tuesday and depreciated 3 paise to 83.57 against the US dollar, amid a muted trend in domestic equities and rising crude oil prices. Forex traders said the rupee continues to hold steady within a well-defined range on active intervention by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI).

At the interbank foreign exchange market, the local unit moved in a narrow range. It opened at 83.54 against the American currency, then fell to 83.57, registering a fall of 3 paise over its previous close.
