<h1>Currency rebounds 4 paise to 88.72 vs US dollar as softer dollar, lower oil, and central bank support help</h1> The domestic currency recovered 4 paise to 88.72 against the US dollar, rebounding from a lifetime low as a softer dollar and lower global crude prices supported gains; heavy foreign capital outflows and risk-off equity sentiment limited appreciation. The central bank reportedly intervened in morning trade to steady the currency. Market commentary attributed earlier weakness to tariff actions by a major economy. Ongoing bilateral trade negotiations and hopes for a deal provided additional support. Equity indices fell sharply and foreign institutional investors sold nearly Rs 5,000 crore of equities, reflecting continued external pressure.
