The Indian rupee today ended unchanged against the US dollar at 61.41 ahead of the outcome of US Federal Reserve's policy meeting.

The rupee resumed lower at 61.50 per dollar as against the last closing level of 61.41 per dollar at the Interbank Foreign Exchange (Forex) Market. It moved down further to 61.52 per dollar on initial dollar demand from banks on the back of higher dollar overseas.

However, the domestic currency recovered from initial losses and firmed up to 61.2900 per dollar on heavy selling from banks and exporters due to persistent foreign capital inflows into equity market. It ended at yesterday's closing level of 61.41 per dollar.

The rupee hovered in a range of 61.29 and 61.52 per dollar during the day.

"Rupee remained volatile...Investors remained cautious before the outcome of FOMC meeting which concludes tonight," said Admisi Forex, Director, Suresh Nair.

The dollar index was up by 0.10% against a basket of six major global rivals.
