Indian rupee rises 37 paise to 94.30 per dollar at open as Brent slips toward pre-Iran war levels
AI Market Summary
India's rupee strengthened as RBI dollar sales and a sharp drop in Brent to around $72 eased inflation and growth concerns for a major oil importer. Markets appear to be pricing faster normalization of shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, reducing geopolitical risk premia in crude. A firm dollar index near 101.50 limits broader EM FX relief, keeping cross-asset effects mixed despite lower energy prices.
