The rupee had closed lower by 80 paise--the biggest single-day fall in 15 months--at 47.16/17 against the dollar in yesterday's trading on a sudden bearish turn in equities.

Forex dealers said fresh capital inflow into equities by foreign funds provided support to the rupee.

Meanwhile, the Bombay Stock Exchange index, Sensex, rose by 106.06 points, or 0.63 per cent, to 16,678.09 points in the opening trade on Wednesday.
