Rupee extends gains

MUMBAI, JUNE 15. The rupee extended overnight gains against the U.S. currency and ended sharply higher today, supported by renewed exporter dollar sales and unwinding of long positions by banks in generally quiet and range-bound trading at the inter- bank foreign exchange market.

The Indian unit closed at 46.9950/47.0050 a dollar, a good three paise appreciation from Thursday's finish of 47.0250/0350 after opening on a positive note at 47.0175/0250.

The rupee gained marginally by half paisa yesterday and halted an earlier three-day string of losses, backed by dollar supplies by exporters and foreign funds.
