Indian Rupee Strengthens Amid Oil Price Drop and Easing US-Iran Tensions
The Indian rupee strengthened against the US dollar for the sixth consecutive session, reaching around 95.12-95.31 levels amid a sharp decline in global crude oil prices and a softer US dollar. This rise was supported by foreign portfolio inflows, increased forex reserves, and Reserve Bank of India interventions. The easing of geopolitical tensions followed US President Donald Trump's decision to delay strikes on Iran, boosting market sentiment. Analysts highlight the importance of sustained capital inflows and stable oil prices for further rupee appreciation ahead of the RBI's upcoming policy meeting.
