Rupee up 6 paise against dollar in early trade

The rupee strengthened by 6 paise to Rs 45.84 against the US dollar in early trade at the Interbank Foreign Exchange on Tuesday.

Dealers said a firm opening in the equity markets and dollar weakness against the euro supported the Indian currency's sentiment. It had ended at a two-month low of Rs 45.90/91 a dollar in the previous session.

The Bombay Stock Exchange benchmark Sensex recovered by 124.30 points to 18,452.06 in early trade.
