The Indian rupee rose 0.9% last week to around 94.4 per dollar, reaching a more than two-month high after the Reserve Bank of India sold an estimated $8 billion-$15 billion to support the currency, according to six bankers. Policy-driven foreign-currency inflows exceeding $136 billion and record reserves strengthened the RBI’s capacity to intervene, although analysts said the rebound is unlikely to begin a sustained appreciation cycle. The currency remained exposed to a 7.8% weekly surge in Brent crude amid U.S.-Iran tensions and shifting Federal Reserve rate expectations.
