The USD/INR exchange rate fell to 82.45, marking a 0.8% decline during Thursday's trading session. This sharp drop was attributed to strategic intervention by the Reserve Bank of India, which involved significant dollar selling through state-run banks. Trading volumes surged to $4.2 billion, well above the 30-day average of $2.8 billion.
This intervention is crucial as it supports the Indian Rupee amid ongoing global economic shifts and domestic inflationary pressures, potentially stabilizing the currency in the near term.
