Rupee Strengthens to Near Six-Week High Amid RBI Support and Rising Oil Prices
The Indian rupee opened higher against the US dollar on September 7, gaining 4 to 10 paise to around 94.39, reaching a near six-week high. This strength was supported by robust foreign currency non-resident (FCNR) deposit inflows and active interventions by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI). However, gains were limited by rising Brent crude prices nearing $97 per barrel amid escalating US-Iran tensions, raising concerns over energy supply disruptions and potential inflationary pressures. Market experts caution that global headwinds and possible US Federal Reserve rate hikes could impact the rupee's trajectory.
