Rupee opens flat at 94.35 per dollar as dollar hits 16-month high
In short
The Indian rupee opened flat at 94.35 against the US dollar. The dollar also hit a 16-month high, and an RBI committee recommended raising the WMA ceiling for states to 678.39 billion rupees.
This matters because a stronger dollar can pressure the rupee, and the RBI recommendation could affect state borrowing. It is not stated whether the recommendation will be approved.
