India's rupee rose 0.3% to an over one-week high of 95.41 per dollar on Tuesday afternoon, lifted by falling energy costs. The currency rebounded from a tight trading band after Brent Crude Oil slipped 3% to $89.20 per barrel. Central bank intervention earlier in the session helped curb volatility, keeping the unit steady against broader regional declines.
