The rupee on Friday continued its upmove against the dollar for the third straight day, surging 18 paise to end at a one-week high of 64.44, buoyed by stocks that soared as the Modi government completed three years in power.
The rupee resumed on a firm note at 64.56 from Thursday’s closing value of 64.62. It was largely confined to a tight range for most part of the day before ending at 64.44, a gain of 18 paise.
