# Crude Oil Prices Plunge Bringing Relief to India as Indian Rupee Strengthens Against US Dollar

> The rupee rose 0.3 per cent to 94.36 against the dollar after a sharp fall in crude prices. The 10-year government bond yield dropped 8 basis points to 7.11 per cent. An expert said the rupee may struggle to strengthen much beyond the 93-94 range.

## Why it matters

Lower crude reduces India's inflation risk and the cost of imported energy, which supports the currency and bonds. The limited upside for the rupee suggests oil remains the main swing factor for its value.
