What Happened
The Indian rupee declined 24 paise to 94.25 against the U.S. dollar on Friday, marking its fifth consecutive day of depreciation. Volatile crude oil prices, a stronger dollar, and uncertainty over West Asia peace talks drove the decline. Concerns about Strait of Hormuz shipping disruptions following U.S. seizure of an Iranian oil tanker unsettled global fuel prices.
