India, Feb. 26 -- The Indian rupee strengthened by 6 paise to trade at 90.85 against the US dollar in early trading on Thursday, supported by a weaker American currency and fresh foreign institutional investor (FII) inflows.
A firm opening in domestic equity markets further boosted sentiment around the local currency. However, gains were partially limited due to rising global crude oil prices and ongoing geopolitical tensions, forex traders said.
In the interbank foreign exchange market, the rupee opened at 90.86 against the dollar and appreciated to 90.85, marking an increase of 6 paise from its previous closing level.
