Indian Rupee Strengthens for Fourth Session Amid RBI Measures to Curb Volatility
The Indian rupee has strengthened for four consecutive sessions, rising about 2 percent amid Reserve Bank of India (RBI) interventions aimed at curbing volatility and speculative trading. Measures include a special dollar window for oil marketing companies, tighter rules on forex derivatives, and increased reserve requirements for banks. Despite gains, ongoing external pressures such as importer hedging, crude oil prices, and global economic factors may limit further appreciation. Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman and RBI Governor Sanjay Malhotra emphasized continued efforts to stabilize the currency amid significant depreciation over the past 18 months.
