        dollar on Friday and gilt yields edged higher on profit taking in the 
        secondary market even as the Central Bank cut policy rates to revive credit 
        demand, while stocks ended 0.26 percent lower, market participants said. The 
        rupee ended at 176.40/50 rupees against the greenback in the spot market on
