Indian Rupee: Rebounds past Rs 85 per dollar mark

The Indian rupee recovered well under Rs 85 per dollar mark in opening trades on Tuesday tracking firm cues from global markets as fears of a prolonged trade war and a potential U.S. recession seemingly faded. INR opened at Rs 84.70 per dollar and climbed to a high of 84.64 so far during the day. Benchmark indexes Sensex and Nifty jumped around 4 percent each on Monday to post their best intraday session since June 5 last year, as easing geopolitical and trade tensions helped boost investors' appetite for risk. Tensions between India and Pakistan de-escalated after both sides reached an understanding to stop all firings and military actions on land, air and sea, with immediate effect on Saturday.
