Rupee Gains 9 Paise to 94.80 Supported by RBI Amid High Crude Oil Prices
The Indian rupee rose by 9 paise to around 94.80 against the US dollar on October 19, supported by the Reserve Bank of India's ongoing market interventions. This marks the currency's strongest rally in seven months, despite persistent pressures from elevated crude oil prices near $110 per barrel, rising US Treasury yields, and foreign capital outflows. Analysts note the rupee's near-term range between 94 and 95.50, with its future movement largely dependent on oil price trends and RBI measures. Domestic equity markets showed declines amid these developments.
