USD/INR drops to near 94.38 at the Monday open as FCNR(B) FX measures above $130 billion as of 31 August support the rupee. MCX crude near Rs 8,730 offsets.
USD/INR drops to near 94.38 at the start of the week as the rupee opens higher on strong non-resident response to the RBI’s special foreign-deposits window.
MUFG on this page points to FCNR(B) FX measures reaching above $130 billion in total as of 31 August, giving authorities firepower even as the bank still sees USD/INR trending higher over time and rules out a sharp rupee collapse.
Rising oil on Hormuz risk is the offset. MCX crude oil for September 21 expiry is up about 1.75% near Rs 8,730 in Monday’s open, closer to a three-month high near Rs 8,791.
USD/INR’s Tuesday recover near 94.68 on the oil rally is a separate session tape — distinct from Monday’s INR open / WTI notes.
