Indian Rupee Opens Slightly Lower Amid Rising Oil Prices and Geopolitical Tensions
The Indian rupee opened near 94.93-94.98 against the US dollar on October 26, showing slight depreciation amid elevated crude oil prices near $114.50 per barrel and geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. While risk aversion and foreign investor selling pressured the currency, softness in the US dollar and potential Reserve Bank of India interventions provided some support. Asian currencies showed mixed performance, and market focus remains on oil prices and upcoming US Federal Reserve policy decisions.
