Indian Rupee Strengthens to Two-Month High on Record Foreign Currency Inflows
The Indian rupee strengthened to a two-month high, closing around 94.46-94.60 against the US dollar, supported by record foreign currency non-resident (FCNR-B) deposits totaling over USD 127 billion and total inflows exceeding USD 136 billion including external borrowings. This inflow bolstered foreign exchange liquidity and improved the balance of payments. The Reserve Bank of India's active intervention and a softer US dollar also aided gains. However, elevated crude oil prices and geopolitical tensions, particularly US-Iran conflicts, pose risks to further appreciation.
