However, dollar's rise against other currencies overseas capped the gains
Forex dealers said a higher opening in the domestic equity markets also supported the rupee but the dollar's rise against other currencies overseas after the American central bank hiked interest rates by 0.25 per cent, capped the gains.
The rupee had jumped by 19 paise to close at one-week high of 66.73 against the US dollar on Wednesday amid rising equities.
