According to Sriram Iyer, Senior Research Analyst at Reliance Securities, the rupee is expected to remain range-bound against the dollar this Tuesday.
"Stronger crude oil, weak Asian and emerging market currencies, a rising dollar and benchmark bond yields could keep appreciation bias capped. However, equity futures in Asia have started with gains and could cap depreciation bias," Iyer said.

Meanwhile, the dollar index, which gauges the greenback's strength against a basket of six currencies, was at 105.14.
Global oil benchmark Brent crude futures fell 0.03 per cent to USD 113.47 per barrel.
