Mumbai The Indian rupee was largely steady in early trade on Wednesday as traders awaited cues from the stock market open but the dollar's strength against major currencies overseas weighed on sentiment.

At 9:04 a.m., the partially convertible rupee was at 51.97/50.02, marginally weaker than Tuesday's close of 51.95/97.

Dealers said sporadic dollar-selling by the central bank via state-run banks had stemmed the rupee's decline in the previous session and they would be watching for any intervention.

The dollar index, a gauge of the dollar's performance against other majors, was 0.4 percent higher but gains in Asian currencies versus the dollar could stem a sharp fall in the rupee, dealers said.

Traders would watch the local share market for cues on foreign fund flows. The Singapore Nifty was almost flat.
