On Tuesday, the Indian rupee maintained a tight trading range and settled flat at 82.03 against the US dollar. Despite receiving support from positive domestic equities and a weakened American currency, the impact was offset by the escalation in crude oil prices.
Forex traders noted that market participants adopted a cautious stance in anticipation of upcoming retail sales data from the US and inflation figures from the UK later in the week.
At the interbank foreign exchange market, the rupee initiated trading at 82.01 against the US dollar and concluded the session at an unchanged rate of 82.03, mirroring its previous close.
