The rupee extended its gains against the American currency for the second consecutive day, surging 23 paise to end at nearly three week high at 61.97 per dollar on sustained selling of dollars by banks and exporters on the back of good foreign capital inflows amidst lower dollar cues.
Good foreign capital inflows into the equity market impacted the rupee value against the dollar, a forex dealer said.
