# Rupee closes at a 2-month high on possibility of de-escalation West Asia war, softening crude, weak dollar

> The Indian rupee closed at 94.47 per USD on Thursday, a two-month high, extending its gain to a fifth straight session. Analysts cited falling US Treasury yields, softer crude oil prices, a weaker dollar and foreign fund inflows, with expectations of de-escalation in the Middle East war after the Democratic midterm sweep.

## Why it matters

Softer crude and a weaker rupee-dollar rate ease India's import bill for energy and fertilizer, a cost factor for feed producers. The currency move is a macro signal rather than a direct feed supply change, so its effect on feed ingredient prices is limited.
