The rupee appreciated 10 paise to 74.59 against the U.S. dollar in opening trade on February 8, tracking the weakness of the American currency in the overseas market.
However, the surge in the rupee was restricted amid elevated crude oil prices and muted domestic equities.
At the interbank foreign exchange, the rupee opened at 74.65, then gained further ground to touch 74.59 against the American dollar, registering a rise of 10 paise from the last close.
Senior BJP leader and former Telangana Governor Tamilisai Soundararajan on Saturday (November 23, 2024) said the landslide victory of the Mahayuti alliance in the Maharashtra Assembly election was historic, and that it reflected people’s mindset across the country. She added that the DMK would be unseated from power in the 2026 Assembly election in Tamil Nadu and that the BJP would be the reason for it.
