# Rupee vs Dollar: Rupee stages a strong comeback, reaches a six-month high as crude and FII inflows have an impact

> The rupee strengthened to an intraday level of 94.08 per dollar on November 6, its strongest level since May 7, after opening weaker at 94.50. Foreign institutional investors’ net purchases of ₹14,974.68 crore in Indian shares supported the currency, despite higher crude prices and a firmer dollar adding pressure.

## Why it matters

Foreign investment inflows support the rupee, while costlier crude can increase India’s dollar demand and weigh on it. The competing forces leave the currency sensitive to both oil prices and capital flows.
