In the Gulf currencies, the Emirates Dirham and the Saudi Riyal fell by 01 paisa and 04 paisa to close at Rs76.07 and Rs74.42, respectively.

Currency experts say such minor changes show that the market is currently moving in a narrow range. Traders are carefully watching global economic signals, including oil prices and Dollar demand.

The gain of 03 paisa is small but meaningful. It shows the Rupee is not under heavy pressure right now. However, global trends can quickly change the direction. Investors and importers are still cautious.
