Dollar weakened overseas amid a higher opening in the domestic equity market
 "Rupee marginally up against dollar in early trade")
The rupee edged higher by one paisa at 62.35 against the dollar in early trade today at the Interbank Foreign Exchange after the American currency weakened overseas amid a higher opening in the domestic equity market.
Forex dealers said besides selling of the American currency by exporters and banks, weakness in the dollar against other currencies on worse-than-expected US industrial production data, supported the rupee.
Further, a higher opening in the domestic equity market influenced the rupee uptrend, they added.
Meanwhile, the benchmark BSE Sensex recovered by 76.54 points, or 0.27%, at 28,876.23 in early trade.
