The USD/INR exchange rate experienced its most significant single-day decline in a week on Monday as market participants reacted to escalating geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. The local currency of India weakened to 93.1275 against the dollar, a 0.2% drop from the previous session. This retreat reversed early morning gains following a surge in dollar demand from state-run and foreign banks, reportedly driven by merchant requirements and foreign investor exits.
