Mumbai, May 6 -- The Indian rupee edged marginally lower in opening trades on Tuesday after a sharp surge to a five month high in the previous session. Rebound in international crude oil prices and negative cues from equities could cap gains in the counter. Yesterday, rupee surged 25 paise to 84.32 against the US dollar, its highest level since November 2024. Local shares eked out modest gains on Monday, with underlying sentiment supported by easing global trade tensions and continued foreign inflows. The benchmark 30-share BSE Sensex ended the session up 294.85 points, or 0.37 percent, at 80,796.84 while the broader NSE Nifty index closed at 24,461.15, up 114.45 points, or 0.47 percent, from its previous close.
