<h1>Rupee Gains 25 Paise Against Dollar, Best Monthly Surge in 6 Years Amid Strong Foreign Inflows Despite Domestic Challenges</h1> The rupee appreciated by 25 paise to close at 85.49 against the US dollar, marking its best monthly gain in over six years due to strong foreign fund inflows. Despite a 2.17% rise in March, the rupee has depreciated over 2% in the current financial year. Foreign investors injected over Rs 32,000 crore in recent sessions, but the rupee's gains were limited by weak domestic markets and a stronger US dollar. The domestic equity market saw declines, with the BSE Sensex and Nifty both falling. Elevated crude oil prices and month-end dollar demand may limit further rupee appreciation.
