Rupee Declines Amid Rising Oil Prices and Geopolitical Tensions, RBI Intervenes
The Indian rupee opened lower against the US dollar amid rising Brent crude oil prices above $106 per barrel, driven by stalled US-Iran talks and geopolitical tensions. The greenback strengthened, and foreign fund outflows continued, pressuring the rupee to around 95.95 per dollar. The Reserve Bank of India has intervened to stabilize the currency near the 96 level. Elevated oil prices and higher US Treasury yields also weighed on domestic equities and increased concerns over India's import bill and forex reserves.
