The rupee appreciated to a one-week high against the US dollar, helped by a surge in domestic equities that eased concerns on foreign fund outflows amid expectations the Greek debt crisis may be nearing a resolution. The Indian currency ended the day at 63.61, up 0.05% from the previous close of 63.64.
