The real story? The RBI is stepping in, day after day, to keep the rupee stable; even as oil prices hover and global nerves jingle. Traders say the central bank’s presence at the open is a clear signal: they won’t let the dollar run wild. What’s surprising? Even as Brent crude sits at $84.50; down from $100; the RBI’s backstop is what’s really propping up the rupee. And while the Fed’s job data shocked Wall Street (yes, the US lost 23,000 jobs in July), India’s forex managers are using that global uncertainty to their advantage. The rupee’s likely to open at 95.14-95.16; a small gain, but steady. For aspirants watching the economy, here’s the takeaway: a stable rupee means cheaper imports, lower inflation risk, and fewer headaches for the RBI’s rate decisions. Watch how this quiet forex strategy could shape the next budget or even future job creation drives. Sometimes, the biggest moves in the economy happen without a headline.
