Forex traders noted that the broad-based weakness in the dollar, with the DXY slipping to the 99 level, is likely to support the rupee in the short term. However, the shrinking yield gap between India and the US is diminishing the appeal of Indian assets.

According to forex traders, elevated global crude oil prices added to the downward pressure on the USD/INR pair. In early trade at the interbank foreign exchange market, the rupee opened at 85.65 and slipped to 85.67 against the US dollar, marking a decline of 9 paise from its previous close.

The news comes days after there was a buzz around prices of petrol and diesel being slashed owing to the falling crude oil  prices.

Forex traders said the Indian rupee touched new all-time lows weighed down by negative domestic markets which fell nearly 1.18 per cent.

The rise in the country's foreign exchange reserves to a record high of USD 704.88 billion on Friday has further strengthened the domestic currency, according to forex traders.

Forex traders noted that foreign institutional inflows, along with notable corrections in asset classes such as the dollar index and crude oil prices, supported the rupee. Additionally, the Reserve Bank's active intervention helped maintain the rupee within a narrow range.
