Rupee Tumbles 28 Paise Amid Crude Oil Price Surge
The Indian rupee depreciated by 28 paise to close at 96.03 (provisional) against the US dollar on Monday, weighed down by risk-off sentiments in global markets.
The deterioration of global risk sentiments was triggered by the US rejecting a deal proposal by Iran, which diminished hopes of reopening the Strait of Hormuz.
Brent crude futures surged over 3 percent to $108 a barrel amid a lack of clarity on U.S.-Iran peace negotiations.
