The INR strengthens to 96.34 against the USD amid reduced geopolitical tensions in the Middle East.
The Indian Rupee (INR) opened higher against the US Dollar (USD) on Tuesday, with the USD/INR pair retreating to 96.34 from Monday’s two-month peak of 96.76. The move follows renewed optimism over potential de-escalation in military tensions between the US and Iran.
The correction marks a reversal from recent pressure on the INR, driven by geopolitical risks and broader USD strength. Prior to the decline, the pair had climbed steadily amid heightened regional instability, reflecting investor caution.
