The rupee ended little changed on Thursday after hitting a one-week high earlier in the session, as dollar sales by foreign investors looking to invest in debt were offset by a choppy domestic stock market which recorded its sixth decline in seven sessions.
The partially convertible rupee closed at 62.07/08 a dollar, unchanged from its previous close. It rose to 61.96 during the session, its strongest since January 2.
