Mumbai, May 9 -- The Rupee on Thursday gained five paise to 83.47 against USD in the opening session on the sale of US Dollar by bankers and exporters, dealers at the Foreign Exchange said.

The local unit advanced because of the weak dollar against other world currencies.

The rupee recorded intraday highs and lows at 83.46 and 83.50, respectively, the dealer added.
