Rupee Strengthens on Jio IPO Inflows and RBI Support Amid Crude Oil Price Pressure
The Indian rupee strengthened against the US dollar on October 21, gaining between 14 and 29 paise to trade around 94.62-94.79, supported by foreign inflows linked to the Jio Platforms IPO and intervention by the Reserve Bank of India. The currency extended its winning streak for up to eight sessions amid a softer dollar index and positive domestic market sentiment. However, gains were limited by elevated crude oil prices above $110 per barrel and ongoing demand from oil importers.
