Forex
The Indian rupee has been broadly range-bound near 95 per U.S. dollar. Reuters reported that Asian-currency weakness and higher oil prices were creating mild pressure, while RBI intervention remained an important market factor.
Commodities
Brent crude traded around $115.74 per barrel in Asia as supply-risk concerns supported oil. Higher energy costs can affect inflation expectations, currency markets and oil-importing economies. Gold remained sensitive to the combined effect of oil-driven inflation expectations, U.S. yields and the dollar.
