The pair fell -0.14% in the previous session, settling on Tuesday at 90.10. At 21:30 UTC on Wednesday, the pair is falling 0.17% at 89.86.<\/p>\n<p>The Indian rupee has gained sharply against the US dollar, strengthening as the Reserve Bank of India intervened to counter excessive one-way moves. This marks the RBI&#8217;s first intervention of 2026. In December last year, the RBI intervened multiple times after USD\/INR reached an all-time high of 91.55.<\/p>\n<p>However, the rupee is likely to remain under pressure amid renewed trade worries between the US and India, as well as consistent foreign institutional investor selling in the Indian equity market.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier this week, Donald Trump threatened to lift tariffs on India for not supporting the Russian oil issue, which is directly linked to New Delhi&#8217;s purchase of oil from Moscow.<\/p>\n<p>Trump imposed 50% tariffs on exports from India to the US, including a 25% punitive tariff on Russian oil imports.<\/p>\n<p>The US Dollar is falling against the Rupee but rising against its major peers. The US Dollar Index, which measures the US dollar against a basket of major currencies, is up 0.16% to 98.73, marking a second day of gains.<\/p>\n<p>The US dollar is edging slightly higher against its major peers investors digest mixed data.<\/p>\n<p>December ASM services index supported the move higher, the PMI unexpectedly grew at the fastest pace in 14 months to 54.4. This was up from 52.2 in November.<\/p>\n<p>This data came after slightly weaker-than-expected ADP private payrolls, which showed employers added 41,000 private-sector payrolls, below the 47,000 expected but still up from the 32,000 decline in November.<\/p>\n<p>Job openings were also weaker than expected, with fewer than expected. Both reports are dovish on Fed policy. The jobs data comes ahead of Friday&#8217;s nonfarm payroll.<\/p>\n<p>Separately, the US dollar is supported after the USA sanctioned a Russian-flagged tanker for violations of sanctions.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Indian Rupee (INR) rises for a second day RBI intervenes to lift the Rupee The US Dollar (USD) is rising versus major peers US ISM services PMI hit a 14-month high The US dollar-to-Indian rupee (USD\/INR) exchange rate is falling for a second straight session.
