Rupee Strengthens Against US Dollar Amid Falling Oil Prices and RBI Intervention
The Indian rupee strengthened notably against the US dollar on Monday, rising up to 61 paise to settle near 95.92, driven primarily by a sharp decline in global crude oil prices and easing geopolitical tensions between the US and Iran. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) actively intervened in currency markets, supporting the rupee alongside strong domestic equity trends and expected foreign capital inflows. Analysts caution that while the rupee benefits from lower oil prices and diplomatic progress, ongoing geopolitical risks and oil price volatility could influence its stability ahead of the RBI's upcoming policy meeting.
