Wall Street's AI pain becomes India's rupee gain

What happened: Foreign portfolio investors bought a net ₹53,739 crore of Indian equities between November 2 and 9, reversing net sales of ₹34,843 crore in October, as Brent crude fell. Key numbers: FPI net purchases ₹53,739 crore (Nov 2 to 9); October net sales ₹34,843 crore; Brent fell 24% from $118 on October Why it matters: Lower crude reduces India's dollar demand for energy imports while foreign inflows raise dollar supply, easing pressure on the rupee. GTRI projects ₹92 to ₹93 per dollar if these trends hold, though a crude rebound or sentiment reversal could undermine the recovery.
