Forex dealers said a higher opening in domestic stock market supported the rupee, but the dollar's strength against other currencies overseas limited the gains. The rupee had risen 8 paise to close at 63.84 against the greenback in yesterday's trade on persistent dollar selling by banks and exporters on hopes of foreign capital inflows amid a strong capital market.
