India’s Rupee Support Effort Faces Pressure From Oil and Inflation

India’s Rupee Support Effort Faces Pressure From Oil and Inflation

India is making its boldest effort in more than a decade to support the rupee.

The currency is facing persistent weakness.

Oil pressures and outflows are among the challenges facing the effort.

The support may provide only temporary relief.

Inflation is approaching the top of the central bank’s tolerance band.

That combination makes the central bank’s task more difficult.

No next step is specified.
