The rupee settled on a flat note, registering a rise of just two paise to 76.14 (provisional) against the US dollar on Thursday, tracking weak US dollar and gains in the domestic equity market.
Forex traders said the rupee was trading in a narrow range as positive domestic equities and weak US currency supported the local unit, while rising coronavirus cases, border tension with China and foreign fund outflows capped the gains.
The rupee opened at 76.17 against the US dollar and finally settled for the day at 76.14 against the US dollar, up two paise over its previous close.
It had settled at 76.16 against the greenback on Wednesday.
During the four-hour trading session, the rupee saw an intra-day high of 76.08 and a low of 76.19 against the US dollar.
Meanwhile, the dollar index, which gauges the greenback’s strength against a basket of six currencies, fell 0.05 per cent to 97.10.
