The rupee reversed its morning losses to end at 53.57 against the dollar as inflow of American currency helped the local unit to gain.
The rupee opened lower at 53.77. The domestic forex and debt markets were closed on Wednesday. It had closed at 53.73 against the dollar on Tuesday.
Month-end demand for dollars from oil importers did not weigh much on the rupee as the dollar inflows outweighed the domestic demand.
