India, June 9 -- The Indian rupee appreciated by 20 paise to 95.41 against the US dollar in early trade on Tuesday, supported by a decline in Brent crude oil prices and a softer US dollar index following a pause in hostilities between the US and Iran.

According to forex traders, sentiment improved after Israel and Iran signaled a willingness to de-escalate tensions and reduce military strikes. At the interbank foreign exchange market, the rupee opened at 95.47 against the greenback and strengthened further to 95.41, compared with its previous close.
