The rupee started marginally higher on Friday, taking cues from firmer Asian stock markets and lower oil prices.
At 9:10 a.m, the partially convertible rupee was at 42.945/955, up from Thursday's close of 42.97/98.
But traders said inflation data due around noon would hold the key. A poll this week forecast annual inflation rate to have risen to a 13-year high of 9.82 percent in early June, higher than the previous week's 8.75 percent.
