Rupee opens stronger at 94.78 on Wednesday
In short
The rupee opened 15 paise stronger at 94.78 per U.S. dollar on Wednesday. The report said Jio Platforms IPO inflows and RBI action helped, even though crude oil prices were rising.
This matters because foreign inflows and central bank support can lift the rupee. But the report does not say how big the inflows were or whether the rise would continue.
