<h1>Rupee edges up 4 paise to 88.11 as foreign inflows, softer dollar and trade talks support; crude limits gains</h1> The rupee recovered modestly to close 4 paise higher at 88.11 against the US dollar after intraday trading, supported by strong foreign fund inflows, a softer dollar and hopes of progress in bilateral trade talks. Gains were tempered by rising crude prices. The currency traded in a narrow range after briefly revisiting record lows, with the central bank intervening as a seller around 88.20-88.30 to steady the market. Domestic equities advanced and foreign institutional investors were net buyers, while the dollar index and Brent crude showed modest moves that influenced sentiment.
