The Indian rupee (INR) experienced a sharp recovery in early trading on Thursday, opening at ₹94.62 per dollar and rising to a high of ₹93.14. This rebound of around 150 paise follows the Reserve Bank of India's (RBI) recent decision to restrict banks' net open positions in the onshore forward delivery market. The RBI's intervention, announced after a review of market conditions, prohibits authorized dealers from offering non-deliverable derivative contracts involving the rupee to both resident and non-resident users. Despite this positive movement, the rupee continues to face pressure from ongoing foreign capital withdrawals, a strengthening US dollar, and rising crude oil prices amid a volatile geopolitical landscape. The INR had suffered four consecutive weeks of declines before this recovery, highlighting the ongoing challenges in the currency market.
