<div>The rupee strengthened to 60 per dollar on Thursday (19 June), its highest in almost a week, after the U.S. Federal Reserve signalled that interest rates will stay low for a while yet.<br /><br />At 0336 GMT, the rupee trading at 60.0150/0300, after having hit 60.00, a level last seen on June 16. It had closed at 60.39/40 against the dollar on Wednesday.<br /><br />However, traders expect the gains to be limited during the session as concerns persisted that an insurgency in Iraq could disrupt oil exports from the second-largest OPEC producer.<br /><br />(Reuters)</div>
