<h1>Domestic Currency Hits Four-Month Low Amid Rising Oil Prices and Dollar Demand, Section 12 Impact</h1> The domestic currency depreciated to a four-month low against the US dollar, closing 21 paise lower due to increased demand for dollars from importers and oil companies, a rise in crude oil prices, and a stronger US dollar index. Market participants remained cautious ahead of key monetary policy decisions by the US Federal Reserve and the Bank of Japan, as well as ongoing trade negotiations between the domestic country and the US, with a deadline approaching.
