 "Markets remain volatile in a narrow range")

On the global front, Asian shares rose to their highest in nearly two years on Wednesday, as strong Chinese trade data added to positive sentiment already bolstered by record highs overnight for US and German stocks.
Back home, the rupee appreciated by 9 paise to 54.05 against the US dollar in early trade at the Interbank Foreign Exchange today on increased selling of the American currency by exporters.
