The rupee closed almost flat at 55.67 as month-end demand for the dollar from oil importers kept up the pressure on the Indian currency.
The local unit opened weaker at 55.83 against the dollar on the back of weak Asian markets. On Monday, it had closed at 55.69.
“There was demand for dollars from oil importers and the euro also impacted the rupee,” a chief dealer with a public sector bank said.
Intraday, the rupee moved between a high and low of 55.61 and 55.88, respectively.

The overnight call money rates ended at 7.95 per cent from the previous close of 8 per cent.
