Rupee Recovers Amid RBI Intervention and Easing Crude Prices
The Indian rupee appreciated by 19 paise to close at 95.80 against the US dollar on Friday, September 25, despite persistent pressure from elevated crude oil prices and a firm dollar index.
The Reserve Bank of India stepped in with dollar sales and sell-buy swaps, which helped the rupee recover from a one-week low of 95.9550 on Thursday.
Brent crude prices surged to $106.88 per barrel on Thursday but eased to $105.40 per barrel on Friday, providing some relief to the currency.
