The currency came under pressure due to a slight recovery in the US Dollar Index, modest gains in US Treasury yields and continued foreign fund outflows. During the day, the rupee opened at 95.13 and traded in a range of 95.12 to 95.24 before ending at its weakest level of the session. Forex traders said softer crude oil prices limited the downside for rupee by easing concerns around India's import bill. According to Mirae Asset ShareKhan analyst Anuj Choudhary, expectations of a possible US-Iran agreement could support rupee, although any rebound in the dollar index or Treasury yields may restrict gains. .Stock market today: Dalal Street found support from oil prices and Middle East peace efforts According to analysts domestic equities have found support from multiple macroeconomic developments during the previous session. Vinod Nair, head of research at Geojit Investments, said crude oil prices and intensified diplomatic efforts to restore stability in the Middle East improved investor confidence. He added that the Reserve Bank of India's decision to maintain the repo rate at 5.25% for the fourth consecutive meeting, along with its neutral policy stance and constructive economic outlook, encouraged selective buying in banking and energy stocks. The central bank also marginally raised its GDP growth forecast for the current financial year to 6.7% while trimming its inflation projection to 5%. However, policymakers maintained that future rate decisions would remain dependent on incoming economic data and inflation trends. .Stock market today: Oil prices continue to rise amid Hormuz disruption Crude oil prices moved higher as traders assessed renewed geopolitical risks in the Middle East alongside comments from US President Donald Trump suggesting the conflict could end "pretty soon." Brent crude futures were up 84 cents, or 1.02%, at $83.33 per barrel, while US West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude gained 69 cents, or 0.89%, to $77.98 per barrel. The gains extended the previous session's rally, during which crude prices surged by more than $3 a barrel after Iran reviewed legislation that could restrict US and Israeli vessels from using the Strait of Hormuz. Before the conflict escalated, the strategic waterway carried nearly one-fifth of global oil and liquefied natural gas shipments, making any disruption a key concern for energy markets worldwide. .Stock market today: Asian stocks remain in red ahead of US data Asian equities traded cautiously as investors awaited the release of key US employment data that could influence the Federal Reserve's next interest-rate decision.
