Rupee Marginally Declines to 94.97 Amid US-Iran Tensions and RBI Intervention
The Indian rupee fell marginally by 2 paise to 94.97 against the US dollar on September 2, amid renewed US-Iran tensions, rising oil prices near USD 95 per barrel, and higher US Treasury yields. The Reserve Bank of India intervened with dollar sales to stabilize the currency and prevent it from crossing the 95 mark. Despite weak domestic equities and a strong dollar, foreign capital inflows provided some support. Market participants also anticipate a possible US Federal Reserve rate hike in September, contributing to dollar strength and rupee pressure.
