The rupee appreciated by 8 paise to 67.57 against the US dollar in early session today after the American currency weakened overseas. Dealers said fresh selling of the greenback by banks and exporters backed up the rupee. The dollar turned weak against other currencies overseas even after the US Federal Reserve lifted interest rates and signaled two more hikes this year and four in 2019.
