The rupee gained 8 paise to 81.66 against the U.S. dollar in early trade on April 27 amid weak American currency in the overseas market.
Forex traders said a positive trend in domestic equities, foreign fund inflows and crude oil prices below $80 a barrel also supported the local unit.
At the interbank foreign exchange, the domestic unit opened at 81.69 against the dollar and then climbed to 81.66, registering a rise of 5 paise over its previous close.
On April 26, the rupee closed at 81.74 against the U.S. currency.
Meanwhile, the dollar index, which gauges the greenback's strength against a basket of six currencies, fell 0.07% to 101.40.
Brent crude futures, the global oil benchmark, advanced 0.48% to $78.06 per barrel.
"The rupee is expected to trade in the narrow range of 81.70-82.30 levels as mixed economic data and a fragile geo-political environment are likely to increase volatility, and following a risk-management policy would be suitable this time," CR Forex Advisors MD Amit Pabari said.
