Indian Rupee is holding around two-week high today as the US dollar index slipped in last session after the Federal Reserve held interest rates steady in the 3.50%-3.75% range. Dollar weakened despite three Fed officials dissenting in favour of a rate hike as markets eyed a choppy near term outlook for the US currency. The dollar index eased near one-week low, breaking well under 101 mark. This kept INR supported after recent gains amid supportive cues from local equities.
