Rupee opens at 51.36 per dollar

The Indian rupee opened at 51.36 per dollar versus 51.59 yesterday.

Manis Thanawala, Greenback Forex said, "The rupee is likely to be stronger on account of dollar weakness. Positive equity market cues & a jump in the Korean won on news of apparent failure of North Korean rocket test should also aid the currency. The range is seen between 51-51.40/USD."
