The rupee exchange rate ended at 95.12 per US dollar on Tuesday, October 27, 2026, after depreciating 19 paise over the previous week. The move came as the dollar strengthened and crude oil prices remained elevated.
Key Takeaways
- Net foreign portfolio inflows were about $510 million over the past week, NSDL data showed.
- Brent crude futures traded around $111 a barrel, while the dollar index was at 102.20.
Rupee exchange rate and foreign flows
Foreign portfolio flows were positive for a second consecutive week. The inflows reduced cumulative net outflows for October to around $3.8 billion, according to NSDL data.
High crude prices are a concern for the rupee because India depends on oil imports. The weekly currency move coincided with a stronger dollar and elevated oil prices, though their individual effects cannot be isolated from the available data.
Dollar and Treasury yields
The dollar index traded at 102.20 after resuming its upward movement following a brief correction. The US 10-year Treasury yield was around 5%, down from 5.37% earlier in October.
Attention was turning to the Federal Reserve’s monetary policy decision on Wednesday. The central bank was widely expected to leave its benchmark interest rate unchanged at 3.75%–4%.
Next milestone
The next scheduled event to watch is the Federal Reserve’s policy decision on October 28.
