Mumbai: The rupee appreciated 6 paise to 76.44 against the US dollar in opening trade on Monday amid a pullback in global crude prices.
However, a weak trend in domestic equities and a strong dollar in the overseas market capped the rupees gains, forex traders said.

In the previous session, the rupee had settled at 76.50 against the greenback.
On the domestic equity market front, the 30-share Sensex was trading 336.59 points or 0.59 per cent lower at 56,724.28, while the broader NSE Nifty declined 102.60 points or 0.60 per cent to 16,999.95.
The dollar index, which gauges the greenbacks strength against a basket of six currencies, surged 0.43 per cent to 103.40.
Global oil benchmark Brent crude futures slipped 0.94 per cent to USD 106.13 per barrel.
