RBI Intervenes to Stabilize Rupee Amid Geopolitical and Market Pressures
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has been actively intervening in the foreign exchange market to stabilize the rupee amid geopolitical tensions, a strong US dollar, and rising oil prices. Traders note that the RBI, through state-run banks, has sold dollars to prevent excessive volatility and a rapid depreciation of the rupee, which has hovered near record lows. This intervention aims to contain imported inflation and maintain orderly market conditions without targeting a fixed exchange rate.
