The rupee was trading at 62.52/53 versus its close of 62.41/42 as lack of dollar inflows due to US holidays for Thanksgiving and month-end demand from oil companies hurt.

Traders expect the pair to find good resistance at around 62.55 levels, which, if broken, can take it higher to 62.70-75 levels.

Traders, however, say gains in the domestic sharemarket may limit a very sharp rise in the pair. The BSE Sensex is trading up 1.3%.

The September-quarter GDP data will be released after market hours today.
