On November 19, 2025, the Indian Rupee (INR) strengthened against the US Dollar to trade at 88.49, extending its recent upward trend. This gain represents a 0.14% increase over the previous session, marking the strongest level for the rupee since November 4, 2025. Market participants attribute this positive momentum to healthy foreign portfolio investments and stable macroeconomic indicators.
The steady appreciation contrasts with the broader global currency market volatility influenced by geopolitical and monetary policy developments. Favorable factors supporting the INR include higher exports, narrowing trade deficit, and consistent capital inflows, all enhancing the currency’s valuation.
The Reserve Bank of India’s tight liquidity management and expectation of stable interest rates also underpin investor confidence. Analysts suggest the rupee’s firming trend may continue short-term, barring major global shocks.
