INR regains momentum with all eyes on RBI monetary policy
The Indian rupee is regaining some momentum in opening trades on Friday as the global crude oil prices eased and market participants keenly awaited the RBI's MPC decision today. Heightened geopolitical tensions between the US and Iran drove energy volatility and aggressive safe-haven buying capped sharp gains in the local unit. INR opened at Rs 95.72 per dollar and hit a high of 95.63 so far during the day. Yesterday, rupee depreciated 7 paise to close at 95.83 against the US dollar. Local markets opened in the green with investors closely watching the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) monetary policy announcement scheduled for today. The Indian benchmark indices are trading higher today, with the NIFTY 50 hovering around 23,442.30 (+0.11%) and the S&P BSE SENSEX trading at 74,556.68 (+0.26%).

Benchmarks pare steep losses; Sensex slides 304 points, Nifty ends below 23,450
The domestic equity benchmarks staged a sharp recovery from intraday lows on Wednesday as bargain hunting emerged after the morning selloff. The Nifty, which slipped to an intraday low of 23,151.50, rebounded nearly 250 points and climbed back above the 23,400 mark in late trade. Sentiment improved as investors accumulated beaten-down stocks. However, caution persisted amid uncertainty surrounding U.S.-Iran ceasefire negotiations, which kept global energy markets volatile and crude oil prices elevated. Despite the recovery, the index settled below the 23,450 level, weighed down by weakness in IT and FMCG stocks. Analysts said the Nifty remains technically weak, with immediate support seen at 23,300 and resistance at 23,600.

INR settles around record low level as energy crisis deepen
The Indian rupee weakened further and fell to a record low of 95.73 (provisional) against the US dollar on Thursday, amid a strong dollar and worries over inflation amid elevated energy prices. International oil prices continued to hold around $100 per barrel mark that kept rupee under pressure. The rupee is expected to trade with a negative bias amid inflation concerns and the strength of the US dollar in the overseas market. The West Asia crisis and the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz have disrupted crude petroleum imports into India. Investors also awaited the outcome of U.S. President Donald Trump's summit with Chinese President Xi Jinping in Beijing. However, positive local equities limited losses in the domestic unit to some extent. Indian equity markets settled sharply higher for the second consecutive session, with the Sensex rising 789.74 points (1.06%) to 75,398.72 and the Nifty gaining 277 points (1.18%) to 23,689.60.
