thebalanced.newsIndian Rupee Strengthens Amid US-Iran Peace Hopes and RBI Support
The Indian rupee strengthened for the third consecutive session, closing around 95.23-95.29 per US dollar, supported by Reserve Bank of India interventions and optimism over a potential US-Iran peace deal. Falling crude oil prices below $100 per barrel and a weaker US dollar also boosted investor sentiment. RBI Governor Sanjay Malhotra emphasized readiness to intervene to ensure orderly forex market movements, while US Secretary of State Marco Rubio highlighted progress on a US-India interim trade agreement. However, geopolitical uncertainties and ongoing issues like Strait of Hormuz blockades remain concerns.
