22 Jun
Summary
- Indian rupee depreciated 34 paise to close at 94.67 against the US dollar.
- Stock market rebounded, closing higher after a five-day losing streak.
- Rupee experienced volatility due to conflicting market forces.
The Indian rupee closed at 94.67 against the US dollar, marking a depreciation of 34 paise. This decline was primarily influenced by the strengthening of the American currency in global markets.
The rupee's movement was characterized by volatility, with domestic factors like debt and deposit inflows being counteracted by external pressures. These included uncertainty surrounding Middle East peace deals and the firm dollar.
Meanwhile, the Indian stock market showed resilience, snapping a five-day losing streak. The benchmark BSE Sensex gained 291.17 points, or 0.38%, to close at 77,094.07. This upward trend was supported by gains in technology, healthcare, and oil sectors, along with positive reports on US-Iran peace talks and easing inflation fears due to weak oil prices.
