The rupee today jumped by 16 paise to end at over two-month high of 61.71 against the greenback on good inflows in local markets and sustained dollar sales by exporters, extending its winning trend to third straight day.
A weak dollar overseas also boosted the sentiment in favour of the rupee here as the dollar index was down 0.15 per cent against major rivals, forex traders said.
At the Interbank Foreign Exchange (Forex) market, the domestic unit resumed strong at 61.60 a dollar from previous close of 61.87 and immediately touched a high of 61.58.
