Stock market ends almost flat amid volatile session
Sensex closed 53 points, or 0.07%, lower at 73,953.31, while the Nifty 50 ended the day 27 points, or 0.12%, higher at 22,529.05.
The Rupee weakened by four paise to quote at 68.19 against the Dollar in early trade at the Interbank Foreign Exchange market on Wednesday on month-end demand for the American currency from importers and banks.
The Dollar was firm against major global currencies, which dampened Rupee sentiment, but a higher opening of the domestic equity market capped the fall, dealers said.
On Tuesday, the Rupee made a modest recovery to end higher by five paise at 68.15 against the American greenback in yet another day of extremely thin and lethargic trade.
