The rupee strengthened by 13 paise to Rs 65.01 against the US dollar at the interbank forex market on Thursday, on fresh selling of the greenback by exporters and banks ahead of the RBI’s monetary policy outcome later in the day.

Dealers said the US dollar’s weakness against some other currencies overseas and early gains in domestic equity markets supported the rupee.
