Surrendering some of its early gains, the rupee today rose by 11 paise to 64.44 against the dollar in the late morning trade on selling of the US currency by banks and exporters amid recovery in the equity markets.
Finance Minister P Chidambaram's assurance to investors yesterday and dollar volatility helped in improving the rupee sentiment, forex dealers said.
The rupee today resumed higher at 64.30 per dollar as against the yesterday's closing level of 64.55 at the Interbank Foreign Exchange (Forex) Market.
