However, a strong dollar overseas squeezed the rupee's gains, traders added. On Friday, the rupee had ended flat at 64.45 against the US currency in an otherwise quiet and range-bound trade amid weaker dollar sentiment overseas. The benchmark Sensex rose 73.69 points, or 0.23 per cent, to 32,094.44 points in early trade today. PTI
