The rupee today ended 15 paise higher at 61.61 against the dollar on the back of dollar sales by banks and exporters. It ended yesterday at 61.76.
The domestic unit opened weaker at 61.92 and touched a low of 61.94 and a high of 61.58 in intra-day trade.
A dealer with a public sector bank said as the rupee approaches the 62 level, exporters sold the rupee to get better levels to sell dollars.
Markets will be shut from Thursday to Monday for public holidays and re-open for trading on Tuesday.
