Rupee ends day at 63.65, gains 35 paise versus US dollar

MUMBAI: The rupee closed today's session at 63.65, up 35 paise against the US dollar at the Interbank Foreign Exchange after the American currency weakened overseas on disappointing retail sales report.

Besides, increased selling of the US dollar by exporters supported the rupee, but a lower opening in the domestic equity market capped the gains, forex dealers said.

The rupee had ended higher by 17 paise at 64 against the greenback in yesterday's trade due to fag-end selling of dollars by banks and exporters on the back of strong recovery in the equity market.
