The Indian rupee demonstrated resilience on Monday as a wave of dollar sales linked to the unwinding of arbitrage positions bolstered the currency. The rupee climbed to a peak of 92.80 against the U.S. dollar, marking its strongest performance in two weeks, before settling at 93.07 as importer demand for the greenback increased.
