Rupee rises 15 paise to close at 95.35 against U.S. dollar
The Indian Rupee gained 15 paise to settle at 95.35 against the U.S. dollar, supported by foreign capital inflows and RBI intervention. However, gains were limited by rising global crude oil prices and geopolitical tensions in West Asia.
Why it matters
Currency fluctuations impact inflation and import costs, making this data critical for investors and policymakers monitoring India's economic stability.
The rupee remained in positive territory on Friday (July 31, 2026), gaining 15 paise to settle at 95.35 (provisional) against the U.S . dollar, tracking foreign capital inflows and support from the Reserve Bank of India.
However, higher global crude oil prices and a stronger greenback capped sharper gains in the local unit, while elevated tensions in West Asia kept markets on edge, forex traders said.
At the interbank foreign exchange, the rupee opened at 95.40 and traded in the range of 95.25-95.46 during the session. It eventually settled at 95.35 (provisional), up 15 paise from its previous close.
The rupee surged 26 paise to close at 95.50 against the U.S. dollar on Thursday (July 30, 2026), rising for the fifth straight session.
