The Indian rupee has weakened to 95.42 against the US dollar on Wednesday, August 12, 2026, due to rising Brent crude prices nearing $90 per barrel.

Rising geopolitical tensions, particularly regarding shipping lanes in the Middle East, have sparked fears of supply disruptions that often put pressure on the Indian economy due to increased import costs and potential inflationary risks.

The current rise in oil prices is largely linked to growing concerns about shipping disruptions near the Strait of Hormuz and the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, which has fueled market anxiety.
