The Indian rupee fell to its lowest level in over a week driven by concerns over oil prices. Reuters reported that the Reserve Bank of India intervened to cap the currency's decline near the 96 per USD level.
The depreciation follows rising oil costs which are putting pressure on India's trade balance, necessitating central bank action to maintain stability. The 96 per USD mark acts as a key psychological and technical floor that the central bank is defending against commodity-driven volatility.
