The rupee appreciated by 17 paise to close at 81.11 (provisional) against the US dollar on Tuesday, on positive domestic macroeconomic data and weak American currency.
Forex traders said a firm trend in domestic equities, sustained foreign fund inflows and easing crude oil prices also supported the local unit.

The local unit finally settled at 81.11, registering a rise of 17 paise over its previous close.
On Monday, the rupee depreciated by 50 paise to close at 81.28 against the US currency.
“Rupee opened on a flat note and started to appreciate in the latter half. Momentum in the dollar turned negative after one of the Fed members hinted towards a slower rate hike process,” said Gaurang Somaiya, Forex & Bullion Analyst, Motilal Oswal Financial Services.
On the domestic macroeconomic front, indicating easing of the price situation, retail inflation moderated to 6.7 per cent in October while the wholesale price index-based inflation fell to a 19-month low mainly on account of subdued rates of food items.
“Today focus will be on the German economic sentiment and weaker-than-expected data keep the crosses weighed down,” Somaiya said, adding, “we expect the USDINR (spot) to trade sideways and quote in the range of 80.80 and 81.60.” Meanwhile, the dollar index, which gauges the greenback’s strength against a basket of six currencies, slipped 0.38 per cent to 106.25.
Global oil benchmark Brent crude futures fell 1.47 per cent to USD 91.77 per barrel.
