The rupee recovered after initial losses against the American currency and was quoted at 60.46 per dollar in morning trade on fresh selling of dollars by banks and exporters in view of a strong equity market.
The rupee resumed lower at 60.52 per dollar as against the last weekend's level of 60.47 per dollar at the Interbank Foreign Exchange (Forex) market on initial dollar demand from some banks and importers on the back of higher dollar in the overseas market.
However, it recovered immediately to 60.43 per dollar before quoting at 60.46 per dollar at 1000 hours on hopes of good foreign capital inflows due to strong equity market.
