Rupee steady after a holiday


Traders are still assessing the impact of Greece state elections. FOMC meet will be the key. A softer tone on interest rates by the Federal Reserve can result in rupee falling below 60.00 against the US dollar in the inter-bank market. There are more positive domestic factors than negative factors.
