Rupee gains 27 paise to close at 94.95 against US dollar
Show AI Summary
Foreign exchange market dynamics: rupee appreciation reflected portfolio inflows, domestic growth, and possible central-bank intervention amid external pressures.

Foreign portfolio inflows continued despite investors remaining net sellers during the year.

Show AI Summary
