INR recovers from record lows but settles beyond 92/$ mark
The Indian rupee recovered from record low levels and settled with a loss of 16 paise at 92.17 (provisional) against the US dollar on Thursday as global crude oil prices stayed on an upward trajectory amid the raging war in West Asia. A stronger greenback and volatility in the domestic equity markets further weighed on the rupee, which was already on a weak footing in early trade due to heavy foreign fund outflows. Indian shares fell sharply on Thursday to extend losses from the previous session as the prospect of a quick end to the war in West Asia thinned and trade tensions resurfaced. At close, the Sensex declined 829.29 points, or 1.08 per cent, to settle at 76,034.42, taking its two-day decline to 2,171.56 points. While the Nifty slipped 227.70 points, or 0.95 per cent, to close at 23,639.15, it slipped 2.56% in two sessions. At the interbank foreign exchange, the local unit opened at 92.25 but kept slipping to touch its record intra-day low against the greenback at 92.36. ...

The key equity benchmarks ended sharply lower on Thursday, extending their decline for the second consecutive session. Market sentiment remained weak amid escalating tensions between Iran and Israel, which pushed crude oil prices higher. Continued selling by foreign institutional investors, a rise in bond yields and the rupee hitting a record low against the dollar also pressured domestic equities. Global cues remained subdued, with weakness in international markets adding to the cautious mood among investors. The Nifty ended below the 23,650 level, dragged by losses in auto, FMCG and private banking stocks.

The Indian rupee came under pressure in opening trades on Wednesday as sentiments stay bleak amid ongoing conflicts in Middle East.

Rupee staged a strong recovery from its record low against the US dollar on Tuesday, gaining 36 paise to settle at 91.85, aided by a sharp fall in global crude oil prices over hopes of de-escalation of the ongoing conflict in West Asia. Sharp gains in the domestic equity markets, along with a weaker greenback, provided further support to the domestic unit. Indian shares rebounded from recent string of losses on Tuesday amid hopes of an easing of tensions in the U.S.-Iran conflict. The Sensex jumped 639.82 points or 0.82 percent to settle at 78,205.98. During the day, it surged 960.09 points or 1.23 percent to 78,526.25. The Nifty climbed 233.55 points or 0.97 percent to end at 24,261.60.
