Rupee

Mumbai The Indian rupee inched higher on Wednesday on the back of firmer Asian stock markets, but the dollar's strength overseas is seen limiting sharp gains.

At 9:03 a.m., the partially convertible rupee was at 48.61/62 per dollar, above Tuesday's close of 48.81/82.

The dollar was up against a basket of currencies ahead of US jobs data and rate decisions by the European Central Bank and Bank of England.

By 0312 GMT, Japan's Nikkei average was up more than 2 per cent and the Hang Seng index rose 2.3 per cent. Nifty index futures in Singapore was up 1 per cent, indicating a higher start on the local market.

Foreigners have pulled more than $1 billion from Indian shares this year, but a recovery in stocks could turn the tide.
