Indian Rupee Strengthens Amid Easing Crude Prices and Positive Equity Trends
The Indian rupee opened higher against the US dollar on September 21, gaining around 24 paise to trade near 95.72, supported by easing crude oil prices, positive domestic equity trends, and improved foreign fund inflows. Brent crude prices declined from recent highs amid easing Middle East tensions and diplomatic hopes. Despite importer demand for dollars and a firm US dollar index, analysts expect the rupee to trade within a broad range of 95.60-96.50, with the Reserve Bank of India likely to intervene to prevent sharp depreciation.
