The Indian rupee opened weaker against the US dollar, falling around 17 to 37 paise to levels near 95.32-95.35 on June 8. This decline was driven by a stronger US dollar supported by robust US economic data, rising Brent crude oil prices, and escalating geopolitical tensions in West Asia, particularly missile exchanges between Iran and Israel. Despite recent Reserve Bank of India measures aimed at boosting capital inflows and forex liquidity, the rupee remains sensitive to oil price fluctuations and global market risks.
