📌 USD/INR Key Facts

📈 What Drives USD/INR Rate?

🏦 RBI Intervention
The Reserve Bank of India actively manages USD/INR volatility by buying/selling dollars in the forex market. RBI typically intervenes to prevent excessive depreciation or appreciation, keeping rupee stable.
📉 US Federal Reserve Policy
When the Fed raises US interest rates, capital flows to the US, strengthening USD and weakening INR. Fed rate cuts typically weaken USD and strengthen INR. Major driver of the pair.
🛢️ Crude Oil Prices
India imports ~85% of its oil in USD. Rising oil prices mean India needs more dollars (more demand for USD), which weakens the rupee. In 2026, Iran conflict-driven oil spike is pushing USD/INR higher.
💼 FII/FDI Flows
Foreign Institutional Investor buying/selling of Indian stocks and bonds. When FIIs buy Indian assets, they sell USD and buy INR (strengthening rupee). FII outflows weaken INR.
📊 Trade Balance & Current Account
India has a chronic current account deficit (imports > exports in value). Higher deficit = more USD demand = weaker INR. IT services exports and remittances from NRIs provide significant USD inflows that partially offset this.
