Corroboration: 1 independent outlet

The rupee moved in opposite directions on Monday, with The Hindu reporting a sixth straight session of gains to close at 95.31, up 12 paise, while Deccan Herald reported an early trade fall of 8 paise to 95.25. The conflicting data come amid a sharp drop in global crude oil prices and easing US-Iran tensions. Both outlets note FII inflows and strong forex reserves supported the rupee. The Hindu says Brent crude fell 5.06% to $83.48 a barrel; Deccan Herald says it rose 0.91% to $84.31. The dollar index was slightly lower in The Hindu's account but up in Deccan Herald's.
