Indian Rupee Shows Mixed Movement Amid RBI Intervention and Crude Oil Price Fluctuations
The Indian rupee showed mixed movements against the US dollar on August 27, opening slightly lower or higher around Rs 95.44-95.50 per dollar amid subdued market triggers. The Reserve Bank of India has actively intervened by selling dollars to prevent the rupee from weakening beyond Rs 96. Brent crude oil prices declined near $87 per barrel, influenced by easing Middle East tensions, supporting the rupee. However, ongoing global factors, including US inflation concerns and Federal Reserve rate hike prospects, continue to pressure the currency with expectations of further depreciation in coming weeks.
