Indian Rupee Shows Minor Fluctuations Amid Oil Prices and RBI Intervention
The Indian rupee showed minor fluctuations against the US dollar amid mixed domestic and global factors. It closed slightly lower at 95.74 on Monday due to a stronger dollar, rising crude oil prices, importer demand, and concerns over new US sanctions on Iran. The Reserve Bank of India’s interventions helped limit volatility, keeping the rupee within a narrow range. Domestic equity markets declined, while foreign institutional investors showed varied activity. On Tuesday, the rupee edged lower early but later strengthened as oil prices fell and RBI continued market support.
