Rupee Gains 31 Paise to 95.12 Against US Dollar Amid Oil Price Drop and RBI Support
The Indian rupee rose 31 paise to 95.12 against the US dollar in early trade on Monday, marking its fifth consecutive day of gains. This appreciation was driven by a sharp decline in global crude oil prices, a softer US dollar, and increased foreign portfolio inflows. Market sentiment improved after US President Donald Trump postponed planned strikes against Iran, favoring diplomacy. The Reserve Bank of India’s ongoing support and rising forex reserves also contributed to the rupee's strength ahead of the central bank's upcoming policy meeting.
