The Indian rupee settled at 95.15 against the US dollar on 5 August 2026, gaining 13 paise after the Reserve Bank of India's Monetary Policy Committee voted 6-0 to keep the repo rate unchanged at 5.25 percent for the third time in a row in FY27. The rupee had opened 46 paise higher, rallied to an intraday strongest of 94.89 ahead of the policy decision, and then drifted back as RBI Governor Sanjay Malhotra noted that the currency 'has not appreciated as intended despite the high flows from foreign shores.'

USD-INR is expected to trade in a 94.80-95.50 band in the near term.
