Volatility in rupee continued as it pared early gains to rule almost flat, marginally up by one paise to 67.08, in late morning deals on demand from banks and exporters amid heightened uncertainties of US rate hike.

Earlier, the domestic unit opened higher at 67.03 against yesterday's 27-month low of 67.09 at the Interbank Foreign Exchange Market.

It appreciated further on dollar selling from banks to scale-back to 66.96 before quoting at 67.08 at 1030 hrs.
