The rupee strengthened to its highest level in two and a half months, nearing 94 per US dollar, as Indian equities rose and the NIFTY50 reached a three-month high. Lower crude prices, weaker US Treasury yields and the dollar, and renewed foreign-investor inflows supported the currency; SEBI also allowed investors to trade up to $5 million in currency derivatives without underlying exposure.
Foreign inflows and lower oil costs support the rupee, while weaker US yields and the dollar add to that pressure on USD/INR. The expanded currency-derivatives allowance is a policy change but does not establish a direct feed-commodity price effect.
