The rupee snapped its two-day losing streak by firming up 14 paise to close at 62.37 a dollar on fresh selling by banks and exporters on the back of a lower dollar in the foreign markets.
It opened sharply higher at 62.38 a dollar against the previous closing level of 62.51 at the interbank foreign exchange market and firmed up further to close at 62.37, showing a gain of 14 paise.
It hovered in a range of 62.36 and 62.44 during the day. Good capital inflows and lower dollar overseas mainly boosted the rupee value, a dealer said.
