A strong domestic equity market too propped up the rupee sentiment in early trade, as the local markets made a strong come back from last session fall, however the rupee pared most of the gains in final hours on increased month end dollar demand from importers. On the global front, the dollar recovered from a four-month low against the Japanese yen on Wednesday as investors’ worries over North Korea’s latest missile test eased, boosting appetite for riskier assets.
