Mumbai: The rupee stayed range-bound and settled with a gain of 4 paise at 90.91 against the US dollar on Wednesday on the back of foreign fund inflow and a weak greenback.
The currency, however, faced pressure due to higher crude oil prices and trade-related uncertainties, according to forex traders.
At the interbank foreign exchange, the rupee opened at 90.94 against the dollar and traded in a narrow range of 90.96-90.88, before settling at 90.91 against the greenback, registering a gain of 4 paisa from its previous close.
