# Traders to look out for rupee extending rally; bond yields may see uptick

> The Indian rupee closed at 85.2125 per dollar on Friday, its biggest one-day gain in over two years, and rose 0.3% on the week. Heavy dollar sales by foreign banks and reduced bearish bets on the rupee supported the move, while the dollar weakened after Trump recommended 50% tariffs on EU imports and mentioned a possible 25% tariff on smartphones.

## Why it matters

A stronger rupee lowers India's import costs for dollar-priced feed ingredients and oils, which eases pressure on Indian buyers. Tariff-driven dollar weakness, if it continues, would make US-origin feed commodities relatively more expensive in rupee terms.
