Indian Rupee Declines Amid Rising Oil Prices and US Treasury Yields Ahead of Fed Decision
The Indian rupee weakened against the US dollar, closing near 95.90 amid rising Brent crude oil prices above $108 per barrel and US 10-year Treasury yields surpassing 5 percent. Escalating tensions in the Middle East have heightened concerns over oil supply disruptions, inflation, and India's trade balance. Domestic markets showed mixed reactions, with equity indices falling on some days but recovering slightly later. The Reserve Bank of India intervened by selling dollars to support the rupee, while investors awaited the US Federal Reserve's interest rate decision, expected to influence currency and bond markets.
