INR settles lower as global crude oil prices stay elevated amid Middle East turmoil
The Indian rupee depreciated 15 paise to close at 95.34 (provisional) against the US dollar on Tuesday, as global crude oil prices jumped and the American currency remained firm amid massive safe-haven inflows. Significant foreign fund outflows also weighed on the investor sentiments. At the interbank foreign exchange market, the rupee opened at 95.16 against the US dollar, then touched an intraday high of 95.03 and a low of 95.37. Indian shares closed higher on Tuesday, staging a rebound after four days of losses as investors assessed mixed signals over the status of U.S.-Iran peace talks and awaited upcoming RBI rate decision. The Nifty 50 gained 100.95 points (0.43%) to close at 23,483.55, while the Sensex rose 382.50 points (0.52%) to settle at 74,649.84.
INR extends slump beyond Rs 95 per dollar mark
The Indian rupee extended slump beyond Rs 95 per dollar mark on Tuesday as oil prices shot up late yesterday amid stalled talks between US and Iran reigniting fears of oil supply disruption.

INR opened at Rs 95.16 per dollar and hit a low of 95.18 so far during the day. Yesterday, the counter settled at 95.19.

INR slides further as renewed geopolitical tensions led to surge in crude oil prices
The Indian rupee depreciated 5 paise to close at 94.90 (provisional) against the US dollar on Monday, amid renewed geopolitical tensions between the US and Iran and surge in crude oil prices. Strength of the American currency in the overseas market and Israel-Lebanon tensions also deteriorated global risk sentiments. At the interbank foreign exchange market, the rupee opened at 94.93 against the US dollar, then touched an intraday high of 94.73 and a low of 95.03 during the day. Meanwhile, domestic markets also closed sharply lower due to escalating Middle East tensions, surging crude oil prices, and ongoing foreign institutional investor (FII) outflows. The BSE Sensex settled at 74,267.34, down by 508.40 points (0.68%), and the NSE Nifty 50 ended at 23,382.60, dropping 165.15 points (0.70%).
