Extending its rally for the sixth straight session, the rupee on Friday surged to a fresh two-and-a-half month high of 67.08, gaining another 26 paise against the dollar on persistent selling of the greenback by banks and exporters.
Robust FII inflows into equities and debt predominantly supported the domestic currency to sustain momentum during the day.
For the week, the rupee has now shot up a whopping 154 paise, or 2.24 per cent.
