The rupee rose for a second straight session on Tuesday in tandem with gains in domestic equities and the euro.
At 10:14 am (0444 GMT), the partially convertible rupee was 45.96/45.97 per dollar, 0.2% stronger than Monday\\\'s close 46.035/045.
Traders said the rise was capped by caution ahead of the June quarter growth data at 11 am (0530 GMT), and two market holidays on Wednesday and Thursday for religious festivals.
\\\"All eyes are on the gross domestic product number. If the number is significantly different, the rupee will take cues from the movement in the Sensex,\\\" said a senior foreign exchange dealer with a private sector bank.
The main share index, or Sensex, was up 1% after rebounding 3.6% on Monday.
Asia\\\'s third-largest economy likely grew an annual 7.6% in the quarter through June, slowing from the previous quarter\\\'s 7.8% growth, the median forecast from a poll of 28 economists showed.
Traders said the rupee could weaken to as much as 46.20 if the growth was slower than expected.
The euro was at USD 1.4515 from USD 1.4491 when the domestic currency market closed on Monday, while the index of the dollar against six major currencies was at 73.688 points from 74.716 previously.
