The decline of the rupee to 96.7750 against the dollar is also seen as a positive factor in supporting domestic prices. Analysts point to easing US Treasury yields and a pause in the dollar's rally as contributing factors. Although the specter of another US rate hike remains a constraint.
Meanwhile, on the diplomatic front, US President Donald Trump has confirmed that Washington is engaged in productive discussions with Iran, with a commitment to hold off on military strikes until after the November 3 midterms.
A fragile truce between the US and Iran, brokered in mid-June 2026, has collapsed, plunging the world into renewed uncertainty. The collapse of the maritime armistice has led to a sharp escalation of tensions. With both nations resuming military operations and severing diplomatic ties.
The fallout has sent shockwaves through global markets. This sparks a surge in precious metals as investors seek safe-haven assets amidst growing concerns over energy supply chains. The resulting turmoil has also fueled a surge in foreign exchange markets and import duty revisions.
