The Indian Rupee fall accelerates after Trump calls off MoU with Iran, oil prices surge
The article says USD/INR has accelerated higher as renewed US-Iran tensions and a jump in oil prices boosted the US dollar and pressured the Indian rupee. Trump’s statement that the Memorandum of Understanding with Iran is over triggered a further spike in oil, reviving inflation worries and increasing expectations for Fed tightening. The pair is now trading near the highest level since June 11, with the daily chart showing resistance around 96.10 and potential upside toward 97.33 if that level breaks. On the downside, a pullback toward 94.00 is possible if sellers defend resistance. Overall, the move reflects a bearish structural backdrop for the rupee and a bullish short-term bias for USD/INR amid geopolitics, energy prices, and rate expectations.
