Indian rupee opens 32 paise higher at 94.93 per dollar as Brent slips toward $71 a barrel
AI Market Summary
Brent crude near $71/bbl is easing as US-Iran talks reportedly progress, reducing near-term geopolitical risk premia tied to Strait of Hormuz shipping. Lower oil supports oil-importer FX sentiment (e.g., INR), but a firm dollar index (~101.1) and rising US Treasury yields limit follow-through, while upcoming US payrolls data is the next volatility catalyst across rates and FX.
