Rupee Trades Narrowly Higher Amid RBI Support and US-Iran Sanctions Concerns
The Indian rupee opened slightly higher against the US dollar, trading near 95.64-95.70, supported by robust capital inflows and Reserve Bank of India interventions. However, gains were limited by rising Brent crude oil prices and cautious investor sentiment amid anticipated new US sanctions on Iran, which could disrupt energy supplies. The dollar index showed strength, while domestic equity markets saw mixed movements. India's foreign exchange reserves remain near record highs, bolstered by foreign currency deposits and external borrowings.
