Indian rupee recouped its early losses and ended marginally higher against dollar on Tuesday taking its winning streak to third trading session, on account of selling of the greenback by banks and exporters. The domestic currency was weak in the beginning but smart rally in local equity market supported the rupee. Some support also came with India's Chief Economic Adviser (CEA) Arvind Subramanian’s statement that India's economy has the potential to grow between 8 to 10 per cent if the country continues its pace of reforms. Meanwhile, investors remained cautious ahead of IIP and inflation data scheduled to be released later in the day. On the global front, US dollar declined against most major counterparts on Tuesday, as traders focus on a slew of US economic reports due this week for more clarity about monetary policy.
