The rupee opened at 90.65 per dollar, stronger than Tuesday's 90.67 close, driven by support from the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) balancing softer regional currencies. RBI's dollar sales in the 90.70-90.80 band capped further gains, while global cues were mixed, with the US dollar index near 97.20 due to inflation risks and potential rate cuts.
