The Indian Rupee has continued its downward trend, now trading at 95.36 per US dollar, reflecting a loss of around 40 paise in the previous session and an additional 13 paise today. This depreciation is attributed to weak performance in equity markets and a rise in crude oil prices, with West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude futures exceeding $100 per barrel. The US dollar index has also seen a slight increase, currently at 98.40, further pressuring the Rupee. The overall market sentiment remains cautious as these factors contribute to the ongoing volatility in the currency exchange.
