Rupee Falls 21 Paise to 94.97 Against US Dollar Amid Dollar Strength and Oil Price Drop
The Indian rupee weakened by 21 paise to 94.97 against the US dollar on November 2, pressured by a stronger dollar despite softer crude oil prices and gains in domestic equity markets. Analysts expect the USD-INR to trade between 94.40 and 95.60, with Reserve Bank of India interventions helping to contain volatility. India's foreign exchange reserves declined slightly, while foreign institutional investors remained net buyers. Market caution persists ahead of the US midterm elections, influencing currency and equity movements.
