# Rupee recovers 6 paise to 95.38, down 0.2% for week 2026-08-13T15:50:51+00:00 | Business & Economy | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 2 independent outlets The rupee opened 6 paise higher at 95.38 against the U.S. dollar on Friday, aided by a pullback in crude oil prices and softer U.S. producer price data, according to LiveMint. The currency remains under pressure for the week, slipping about 0.2%, with bankers attributing the modest decline to near-daily RBI interventions that absorbed persistent dollar demand. On Thursday, the rupee had fallen 12 paise to close at 95.45, weighed by weak domestic markets and foreign fund outflows amid lingering geopolitical risks, The Hindu reported. While Brent crude traded around $87 a barrel, tanker freight rates have risen 33% since July, pointing to continued supply risks. Foreign portfolio investors have pumped in $1.7 billion in equities so far this month, providing some support. ## Coverage - thehindu.com - livemint.com Tags: crude oil, dollar, FII outflows, forex, inflation, rupee Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/rupee-falls-12-paise-to-95-45-against-us-dollar/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
