Indian Rupee Strengthens Amid US-Iran Peace Deal and Falling Oil Prices
The Indian rupee strengthened for the third consecutive session, closing around 94.53-94.58 against the US dollar, supported by easing geopolitical tensions following a preliminary US-Iran peace deal and a significant decline in crude oil prices. The agreement, expected to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, eased concerns over energy supplies, boosting risk sentiment and foreign inflows. However, some market participants remain cautious about the deal's durability and await further details and the US Federal Reserve's policy guidance.
