Rupee gains fade as it slips back above 95 per dollar
In short
The Indian rupee rose for a third straight session and briefly touched 94.77 against the dollar before ending at 95.15. Importer hedging and capital outflows limited the gains.
This matters because the rupee is still under pressure even after some support from the RBI. Traders are waiting for US inflation data, but the next move is not clear.
What the reporting says
The Indian rupee rose for a third straight session before settling at 95.15 against the dollar after touching 94.77, as importer hedging and foreign outflows capped gains. The report also says RBI steps and hawkish signals supported the currency earlier, while traders now await US consumer inflation data for direction. What happens next for the rupee remains uncertain.
