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%).

RBI should start rate hike cycle as inflation risks rise, says Bandhan MF’s Suyash Choudhary
Average inflation forecasts are likely to move higher, and the RBI should begin the rate hike cycle to maintain its credibility as an inflation-focused central bank, according to Suyash Choudhary, CIO-Fixed Income at Bandhan Mutual Fund. However, he believes rate hikes alone may not immediately solve the problem. He said the RBI must avoid mixed messaging to prevent market uncertainty and added that a favourable mix of global factors — including lower oil prices, better foreign inflows, and a weaker dollar — could help improve the situation.

The Indian rupee rebounded 49 paise from its all-time closing low to settle at 96.37 against the US dollar on Thursday after crude oil prices retreated from elevated levels amid signs of easing geopolitical friction, alongside likely central bank intervention.

The one-year forward market rate for the rupee touched the crucial 100/USD mark on Wednesday, indicating that currency markets are pricing in a weakening bias for the USD/INR pair over the next 12 months. Meanwhile, The Nifty 50 settled at 23,654.70 (down 4.30 points or 0.02%), while the BSE Sensex closed at 75,183.36 (down 135.03 points or 0.18%).
