Rupee Rises 13 Paise Against Dollar on Retreating Yields
The rupee became slightly stronger against the US dollar on Wednesday.
It ended at 95.81 rupees per dollar, up 13 paise from the previous day.
A weaker dollar and lower US Treasury yields helped the rupee.
Oil prices also moved down from recently high levels, although Brent crude later traded slightly higher during the session.
Weak Indian share markets stopped the rupee from gaining more.
Foreign investors have been selling Indian shares, which puts pressure on the rupee.
Traders are watching possible talks involving the United States and Iran.
They are also waiting for several US economic reports that could affect currency trading.
The rupee gained 13 paise to close provisionally at 95.81 against the US dollar on Wednesday.
A weaker US Dollar Index, easing US Treasury yields and retreating crude prices supported the rupee.
The currency opened at 95.87 and reached an intraday low of 95.98.
Weak domestic equities, foreign portfolio outflows and firm US yields limited the rupee’s gains.
Traders expect the rupee to retain a negative bias amid uncertainty over US-Iran discussions and global risk aversion.
