Rupee soars to 6-week high on Jio IPO flows, weaker dollar

What happened: The rupee rose to a six-week high, helped by Jio Platforms IPO-linked inflows, a softer dollar index, and mild RBI intervention, traders said. Key numbers: Rupee traded between 94.42 and 94.82 on Wednesday. Oil rose 1.3% to more than $110 per barrel. Dollar index was 101.6 versus 101.9 a day earlier. Immediate support cited at 94.30. Why it matters: Gains were trimmed in the second half as higher oil prices spurred caution, though the RBI helped the rupee close stronger than 94.50 levels, per traders.
