Mumbai, Feb 12: The Rupee today inched up by three paise against the US Dollar to close at 39.66/67 as compared to its previous close of 39.69/70 amid choppy trade in the local market.

After resuming relatively firm against the greenback, the partially convertible Indian currency traded in range-bound gap of five to six paise against dollar, before ending the day on firm note, dealers said. The local unit was rangebound between 39.61 and 39.67 per dollar throughout the day, despite the local equity market being highly volatile on bouts of alternate buying and selling, dealers added.
