Indian Rupee Gains Amid RBI Support and Oil Price Easing Despite Middle East Tensions
The Indian rupee showed modest gains against the US dollar on July 9 and 10, supported by Reserve Bank of India interventions, easing crude oil prices, and a weaker dollar. Despite ongoing US-Iran military tensions escalating volatility, the rupee appreciated by up to 15 paise, settling around 95.32-95.47. Domestic equity market recoveries and dollar sales by state-run banks also bolstered the currency. However, geopolitical risks and fluctuating oil prices continue to pose challenges to sustained rupee strength.
