However dollar demand had picked up in the past few weeks because of tensions between Iran and the U.S. could result in sanctions on Tehran's customers, making it difficult for New Delhi, which buys 12% of its oil needs from Iran, to receive supply and make payments. Increased foreign fund inflows, gains in euro and other Asian currencies against the American currency in the overseas market supported the rupee.
