Indian Rupee Declines Amid Strong Dollar Demand and Easing Oil Prices
The Indian rupee declined modestly against the US dollar, closing around 95.55 after paring early gains amid strong dollar demand from importers and month-end pressures. The dollar index rose slightly, supported by recent US inflation data, while easing crude oil prices below $90 per barrel provided limited relief. Market participants are closely watching US Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh's upcoming speech. Foreign institutional investor outflows and volatile domestic equities also influenced the rupee's movement, with the Reserve Bank of India expected to support the currency within a narrow range.
