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.
Benchmarks snap 4-day losing streak; Nifty settles above 23,400
Domestic equity benchmarks Sensex and Nifty snapped a four-session losing streak to close higher on Wednesday, aided by value buying in beaten-down stocks. Market recovered from early volatility and profit booking to rebound sharply from intraday lows, with the Nifty settling above the 23,400 mark. Gains were led by metal, consumer durable and energy shares, while IT and auto stocks remained under pressure. However, overall sentiment stayed cautious amid elevated crude oil prices, persistent foreign institutional investor outflows, rupee weakness and lingering global inflation concerns. The Indian rupee also touched a fresh intraday record low of 95.80 against the US dollar.
INR seen mildly supported as govt raises gold tariff
The Indian rupee is seen recovering some of its lost momentum from record low levels in opening trades on Tuesday after the govt stepped in to stabilize the local unit. The govt has raised import tariffs on gold and silver to 15%, reversing the 2024 duty cuts, as the government moves to curb surging precious metal imports, narrow trade deficit and support the rupee amid mounting external pressures. INR opened at Rs 95.52 per dollar and rebounded to a high of 95.51 so far during the day. Yesterday the counter closed at 95.68. Indian shares are seen opening little changed on Wednesday after two consecutive heavy sell-off sessions. Yesterday, Indian equity markets experienced a sharp decline, with the Sensex settling 1,456.04 points (1.92%) lower at 74,559.24 and the Nifty 50 falling 436.30 points (1.83%) to close at 23,379.55.
INR closes at all-time low as global risk aversion resurfaces
The Indian rupee depreciated 35 paise to close at an all-time low of 95.63 (provisional) against the US dollar on Tuesday, as renewed tension between the US and Iran has led to risk aversion in global markets. Market sentiment remained dominated by fears that the 10-week-old conflict could further tighten global supply, particularly after President Donald Trump rejected Tehran's latest response to a US-backed peace proposal, calling it totally unacceptable. Moreover, market participants interpreted Prime Minister Narendra Modi's comments over the weekend regarding fuel conservation and lower imports as a subtle acknowledgement that India's trade deficit and balance-of-payments pressures could worsen if crude prices remain elevated for longer. The Sensex tumbled 1,456.04 points (1.92%) to settle at 74,559.24, while the Nifty 50 dropped 436.30 points (1.83%) to end at 23,379.55.
Sensex drops 516 points, Nifty slips below 24,200 as US-Iran tensions rattle markets
The key equity benchmarks slipped on Friday, extending losses for a second straight session, as intensifying geopolitical tensions surrounding the US-Iran conflict rattled investor sentiment. Escalating hostilities drove Brent crude prices above the $100-per-barrel mark, stoking fears of rising inflation and a spike in Indias import bill. The rupee also slid against the dollar, hovering near the 94-per-dollar level versus the previous close, further denting market confidence.
INR recovers under Rs 95/$ mark as oil plunges; Nifty, Sensex stage a sharp recovery
The Indian rupee appreciated 61 paise to close at 94.57 (provisional) against the US dollar on Wednesday, as Brent crude prices retreated from elevated levels under USD 100 per barrel after US President Donald Trump hinted at a possible deal with Iran. Market sentiment was boosted after Trump paused "Project Freedom," a US operation to escort ships through the Strait of Hormuz. Indias BSE Sensex rose 1.2% to close at 77,958.5 on Wednesday, an over two-week high as global market sentiment improved following a drop in crude oil prices after US President Trump claimed progress in negotiations with Iran toward an agreement to end the war. Meanwhile, DXY slipped 97.53, the lowest since February 2026. Over the past 4 weeks, Dollar Index lost 2.22%, and in the last 12 months, it decreased 1.98%.
