# Rupee rises against dollar as oil prices slide and FIIs buy; can it strengthen further towards 93?

> The rupee opened firmer against the dollar, trading near 94.82 after closing at 94.84 the prior day. Brent fell below $105 after a drop of more than 7% on US-Iran diplomatic progress, and foreign institutional investors turned net buyers of Indian stocks in early November.

## Why it matters

Lower oil prices reduce India's import bill and ease pressure on the rupee, which supports importers of dollar-priced feed ingredients. Softer crude also weighs on energy-linked costs across the feed and freight chain.
