Indian Rupee Fluctuates Amid Oil Price Changes and US Dollar Strength
The Indian rupee showed mixed movements against the US dollar amid fluctuating crude oil prices and global economic factors. It gained modestly on reports of potential US-Iran diplomatic talks and easing oil prices, which improved risk sentiment. However, the rupee weakened due to a stronger US dollar driven by expectations of Federal Reserve rate hikes. The Reserve Bank of India intervened with dollar sales to stabilize the currency. Domestic equity markets saw modest gains, while foreign portfolio outflows continued amid cautious investor sentiment.
