Rupee Opens Higher at 95.64 Against US Dollar Amid Capital Inflows and Geopolitical Tensions
The Indian rupee opened higher by 6-7 paise at around 95.64 against the US dollar on August 24, supported by robust capital inflows, including significant funds mobilized through the FCNR-B route by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI). The currency's gains were tempered by geopolitical tensions, notably anticipated US sanctions on Iran, which have kept oil prices elevated and markets cautious. The RBI is expected to intervene to maintain currency stability amid these developments, while India's forex reserves remain near record highs.
