  "summary": "The Indian rupee was little changed at 95.97 per dollar on Wednesday. Traders reported that state-run banks were offering dollars, likely on behalf of the Reserve Bank of India, with offers concentrated around the 96 per dollar mark. According to traders, this suggests that the central bank intervened in the foreign exchange market to support the currency.\n\nThe RBI has been managing the rupee through frequent interventions, using its increased foreign exchange reserves to mitigate external pressures. This move comes amid a volatile global backdrop, with rising inflation and interest rate hikes by central banks such as the US Fed and Australian central bankers.\n\nThe Indian stock market also experienced a bearish trend, with the Nifty 50 crashing 6.3 per cent in the previous series, marking its worst September performance since 2001. Analysts expect the RBI to hike interest rates in the upcoming meeting, citing rising inflation due to surging crude oil prices.",
