Indian Rupee Gains Modestly Against US Dollar Amid Dollar Weakness and Oil Price Concerns
The Indian rupee showed modest gains against the US dollar, rising 2 to 7 paise on October 29 and 30, closing at 95.26 and 95.19 respectively before appreciating 33 paise to 94.93 on October 30. Gains were supported by a softer US dollar, declining US Treasury yields, positive domestic markets, and expectations of Reserve Bank of India intervention. However, elevated crude oil prices and geopolitical tensions, particularly in the Middle East, limited further appreciation. Market watchers also noted sensitivity to US economic data and upcoming US midterm elections influencing currency movements.
