Indian Rupee Opens Steady at 89.44 per US Dollar, Near Previous Close of 89.4575 on December 1, 2025

The Indian Rupee opened at 89.44 against the US Dollar, showing marginal movement from the previous session's close of 89.4575. This stability indicates a cautious sentiment in the forex market as investors await clarity from the Reserve Bank of India’s upcoming monetary policy decisions and global economic developments.

The Rupee’s near-flat opening is influenced by factors such as dollar demand from importers, sustained foreign capital flows, and RBI’s periodic interventions to maintain orderly market conditions. Despite pressurized currency trends during 2025, the Rupee has held a narrow trading range near record lows due to these stabilizing forces.

Market analysts suggest the currency could remain range-bound between 88.80 and 89.50 in the near future, barring any significant shifts in trade agreements or foreign investment flows.
