The Rupee appreciated by another 7 paise to 64.55 against the Dollar in early trade on Friday at the Interbank Foreign Exchange amid sustained selling of the American currency by exporters and banks.

Forex dealers said that apart from weakness in the Dollar against some currencies overseas, increased foreign fund inflows and a higher opening in the domestic equity market, which zoomed to new highs, supported the Rupee.

On 25 May, the Rupee had gained 11 paise against the US Dollar to end at 64.62.
