The rupee had lost 23 paise to close at an eight-week low of 47.34/35 against the dollar on Tuesday.

Dealers said capital inflows into the equities by foreign funds provided support to the rupee.

Besides weakness in dollar against major world currencies also supported the rupee sentiment, they added.

The Bombay Stock Exchange index, Sensex, rose by 105.35 points, or 0.58 per cent, to 17,983.49 points in opening trade.
