The Indian rupee strengthened against the U.S. dollar on September 24, 2025.

This was supported by a drop in crude oil prices, reducing importers’ demand for dollars.

Traders noted the rupee touched 82.65, its best level in over two weeks.

Forex inflows from foreign institutional investors also aided the currency.

The dollar index weakened slightly, giving additional support to emerging markets.

Exporters booked profits early in the session, keeping volumes active.

RBI was seen intervening mildly to prevent excessive appreciation.

Analysts predict the rupee could trade in a range of 82.50–83.10 this week.

Strong equity inflows may help the currency sustain near-term gains.

Overall, sentiment on the rupee remained positive as oil demand slowed globally.
