thebalanced.newsIndian Rupee Strengthens Amid US-Iran Peace Hopes and RBI Market Support
The Indian rupee strengthened for the third consecutive session, closing around 95.25 against the US dollar on May 25, supported by hopes of a US-Iran peace deal and Reserve Bank of India (RBI) interventions. RBI Governor Sanjay Malhotra stated the central bank would act to ensure orderly forex market movements, noting the rupee may be undervalued after recent declines. Concurrently, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio highlighted progress on a US-India interim trade agreement. Falling crude oil prices and improved risk sentiment also contributed to the rupee's gains and positive market trends.
