Indian Rupee Trades Near 95.40-95.54 Against Dollar Amid RBI Intervention and Oil Price Easing
The Indian rupee showed mixed movements against the US dollar on August 27, opening slightly lower or higher across reports but generally trading near 95.40-95.54 levels. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has actively intervened in the currency market, selling dollars to support the rupee and recently turning into a net buyer amid strong foreign inflows. Brent crude prices eased below $90 per barrel, influenced by ongoing Iran-Oman talks on the Strait of Hormuz, which helped ease concerns over oil supply disruptions. Importer dollar demand and month-end pressures also affected rupee fluctuations, with market participants expecting support near 95.15-95.20 and potential depreciation toward 96.20-96.50 in coming weeks.
