Supported by dollar inflows Indian rupee was appreciated to its strongest level in nearly two weeks on the first session of the new financial year 2012/13, after a three-day weekend. However improved risk appetite after manufacturing data from China and United States offset worries about a mild recession in the euro zone also supported the rupee. Gains in euro and Asian currencies against the US currency in the overseas market also aided rupee. Meanwhile positive equity markets continued to support local currency.
