Foreign exchange market conditions lifted the rupee early, but crude prices, investor outflows and geopolitical tensions restrained gains.
Foreign exchange market conditions supported an early appreciation of the rupee against the US dollar, while elevated crude oil prices, foreign institutional investor outflows, higher US Treasury yields and West Asia tensions limited gains. A weaker dollar and positive domestic equity-market opening provided support. Intensified US-Iran conflict and risks to regional energy exports contributed to higher crude prices and dollar demand. Higher wholesale price inflation and growth in net direct tax collection formed part of the domestic economic backdrop.
