The rupee recouped much of its intra-day losses to end flat at 60.14 against the dollar (previous close: 60.13) on account of strong dollar inflows.
The Indian unit slumped to 60.38 in intra-day trade as oil importers demanded more dollars to meet their month end expenses for procuring the commodity. However, strong inflows presumably to fund buying of shares of Reliance Communications repatriated some losses.
During the day, the Indian currency moved in the range of 60.12 to 60.38.
Call rates and G-Secs
The interbank call rates, the rate at which banks borrow short-term funds from each other to tide over liquidity mismatches, closed at 8.00 per cent over previous close of 8.30 per cent.
