The rupee appreciated by 7 paise to 64.01 against the US dollar on Monday on selling of the greenback by banks and exporters.

The dollar’s slide against some currencies overseas ahead of the Fedral Reserve’s meet beginning tomorrow and a stronger opening of domestic equities took the rupee high.

On Friday, the rupee had gained 4 paise to end at 64.08 against the US dollar.
