0.5819 dollars, hovering around its strongest level in a month, while the Australian dollar held steady at 0.6983 dollars. The broader risk on tone in currency markets reflected growing confidence that the Federal Reserve will hold rates steady in the near term rather than tightening further.<\/p>\n<p>The dollar index today itself, which measures the greenback against a basket of six major peers, was a shade weaker at 100.81. It had fallen 0.35 percent in the previous session, marking its biggest single day pullback in nearly two weeks and dragging the index down from its highest level since 2 July. The pullback came despite lingering worries that elevated crude oil prices, driven by fresh United States and Iran hostilities, could keep inflation risks elevated in the months ahead.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Dollar_Trends_Could_Affect_Indian_Markets\"><\/span><strong>How Dollar Trends Could Affect Indian Markets<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>A softer dollar index typically eases pressure on the Indian rupee and can support foreign portfolio inflows into emerging markets such as India, offering a tailwind for indices like the <a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/indices\/nifty-50\/nifty-50-share-price-today\">Nifty 50<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/indices\/sensex\/sensex-share-price-today\">Sensex<\/a>.
