    Rupee appreciation reflected foreign capital inflows and central bank support, tempered by crude prices and geopolitical tensions.
    Rupee appreciation against the US dollar was linked to sustained foreign capital inflows and Reserve Bank support through dollar selling. Higher crude oil prices, a stronger US dollar and geopolitical tensions in West Asia constrained further gains. A slightly positive near-term rupee bias was associated with softer dollar conditions, dovish US monetary expectations, favourable global markets and improved foreign inflows, while geopolitical risks remained relevant. Domestic equity indices rose, foreign-exchange reserves increased, and fiscal-deficit data showed the central government's position against its full-year target.

Non-cigarette FMCG growth was supported by demand for packaged foods, dairy and personal-care products. Input-cost inflation was mitigated through inventory cover, commodity hedging and price-volume rebalancing amid crude-price volatility, supply-chain disruption and imported inflation concerns.
