Rupee Strengthens on RBI Intervention and Falling Oil Prices Amid Easing Geopolitical Tensions
The Indian rupee strengthened notably against the US dollar, reaching its highest levels in weeks, driven by a sharp decline in crude oil prices and active intervention by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI). The easing of geopolitical tensions between the US and Iran contributed to lower oil prices, supporting the rupee and domestic equities. The RBI's persistent dollar sales helped curb the rupee's earlier depreciation and triggered stop-losses on long-dollar positions. Despite recent gains, the rupee remains weaker year-to-date amid ongoing global uncertainties.
