Indian rupee weakens 25 paise to 95.33 per dollar in early Thursday trade
AI Market Summary
India's rupee weakened past the 95 psychological level as Brent crude held above USD 100, raising concerns about a larger import bill and wider current-account pressures for a highly oil-import-dependent economy. Elevated oil prices and persistent USD demand, alongside net foreign equity outflows, tighten near-term FX conditions despite reported RBI intervention. The backdrop increases sensitivity of USD/INR to energy and risk-flow developments.

The Indian rupee slipped 25 paise to 95.33 against the US dollar in early trade on Thursday after Brent crude moved above USD 100 a barrel, stoking worries over India’s import costs. India imports nearly 90 per cent of its crude, and every USD 10 rise in oil can add roughly USD 1215 billion to the annual import bill, putting pressure on the current account and the rupee. In the previous session, the rupee ended 34 paise lower at 95.08. Domestic equities edged up, while foreign investors were net sellers of shares.
