Mumbai: The Indian rupee advanced by 22 paise to 74.44 against the US dollar in opening trade on Wednesday, as a positive trend in equity markets lifted investor sentiment.

In the previous session, the rupee had settled at 74.66 against the American currency.

“A rebound of the US dollar and rise coronavirus infections and fatalities climbing to another record high in India could keep appreciation bias limited,” Reliance Securities said in a research note.

Additionally, month-end dollar demand from importers and traders looking to take profits on short positions on the US currency could also cap appreciation bias, it added.
