Rupee up slightly; global risk sentiment key

MUMBAI (Reuters) - The rupee was marginally higher on Tuesday, but weaker global risk assets, including the euro, could be a drag on the local currency after China reported much slower-than-expected growth in imports last month.

At 9.01 a.m., the partially convertible rupee was at 55.88/92 to a dollar versus its 55.92/93 close on Monday.
