  "account": "India's rupee weakened 30 paise to 95.84 against the US dollar in early trade on Tuesday, according to forex traders. The depreciation was attributed to elevated Brent crude oil prices and heightened tensions in West Asia. Brent crude reached $106 per barrel, triggering increased dollar demand from oil importers and raising concerns over India's external balance and inflation. The rupee opened at 95.84 against the US dollar, marking a loss of 30 paise from its previous close. The interbank foreign exchange market and forex markets were closed on Monday due to Ganesh Chaturthi. Anil Kumar Bhansali, Head of Treasury at Finrex Treasury Advisors LLP, noted that the surge in crude oil prices and heightened West Asia tensions had boosted safe-haven demand for the dollar, driving up US Treasury yields. Meanwhile, the dollar index, which measures the greenback's strength against a basket of six currencies, rose to 99.60, up 0.21 percent. Brent crude, the global oil benchmark, climbed 1.19 percent to $106.94 per barrel as US-Iran tensions escalated and fears of disruption to oil flows through the Strait of Hormuz intensified. The Sensex gained 233.66 points to reach 75,022.37, while the Nifty increased by 63.85 points to 23,462.30. On Friday, foreign institutional investors sold equities worth ₹930.90 crore on a net basis, as per exchange data.",
