Rupee rises 6 paise to close at 94.34 against U.S. dollar
The Indian rupee saw a marginal gain against the U.S. dollar, closing at 94.34 despite pressure from rising crude oil prices and a strong dollar index. Market sentiment remains cautious due to ongoing trade negotiations between India and the U.S. and uncertainty surrounding a potential U.S.-Iran peace deal.
Why it matters
