Quick Answer<\/strong><\/p>\n

The rupee against dollar today opened near 95.88, about seven paise weaker than Friday’s close of 95.8125, as Brent crude rose past $105 after US President Donald Trump rejected an Iranian peace proposal. Currency advisory Finrex expects the rupee to trade between 95.50 and 96.00, with the Reserve Bank of India repeatedly defending the 96 level for about two weeks. Oil above $100, a dollar index near 101.15 and US 10-year yields at a 20-year high remain the main pressures.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The rupee started Monday on the back foot. Finrex Treasury Advisors had expected an open around 95.80 within a 95.50 to 96.00 range, and the currency opened at about 95.87 to 95.88 as oil prices jumped and most Asian currencies weakened against a firmer dollar. Brent crude for the November series was quoted at $105.95.<\/p>\n

The number that matters is 96. Traders say the Reserve Bank of India has stepped in near that level over the past two weeks, and the question asked in the market is how long it can hold if oil and US yields keep rising. For Indian investors, the answer influences import costs, inflation, foreign inflows and equity valuations.<\/p>\n
