Rupee firmed up by 14 paise to quote at 65.27 against the US currency in late morning deals on sustained bouts of dollar selling by banks and exporters amid weakness in dollar overseas.

"Continued capital inflows and rally in domestic equities influenced the rupee sentiment," a forex dealer said.

Earlier, the rupee opened higher at 65.29 per dollar as against yesterday's level of 65.41 per dollar at the Interbank Foreign Exchange (Forex) market.

The dollar weakened against major currencies yesterday as expectations of a Fed rate hike before year-end ebbed.
