Indian rupee strong 9 paise
On Monday, the Indian rupee reached 86.43 with a strong 9 paise to 86.43 due to a US dollar weakness in early trade. According to PTI news, however, the rupee was limited due to the uncertainty of tariff negotiations between Indo-US. According to Forex Traders, the rupee is trading within a limited range as there is a demand for dollars from importers, giving support to American currency.
The support from trade agreements weakened due to the frequent exit of foreign capital. The rupee opened with a positive attitude in the interbank foreign exchange market and touched a level of 86.43 against the dollar in early deals, showing a 9 paise lead compared to the previous closed price.
