Mumbai, Mar 11: The Rupee today furthered gained against the US Dollar to move up at 40.45/47 per dollar, inching up by nearly three paise from its previous close of 40.4850/4950 on smart recovery in the Indian equity market.

The partially convertible Indian currecy opened the session on a weak note at 40.60/62 and later gained strength against the dollar to touch a day's high at 40.43/44 as the local bourses regained their early losses following the positive rally in Asian markets, dealers said.

Meanwhile, the six month premium was quoted lower at 0.74 (0.76) per cent and annualised premium closed at 0.76 (0.78) per cent. The Reserve Bank of India fixed the reference rate for the US dollar at Rs 40.47, 20 paise lower as compared to previous rate of Rs 40.67.
