The rupee remained steady with a slight gain, closing at 84.07 against the US dollar on Monday, supported by lower crude prices and strong domestic equities. Persistent foreign fund outflows, however, kept the currency under pressure.

The Indian rupee ended Monday on a largely flat note, appreciating by just 1 paisa to settle at 84.07 against the US dollar, aided by positive domestic market performance and a notable drop in global crude oil prices, according to PTI.
Forex traders reported that while the rupee traded within a narrow band throughout the day, the combination of a strong US dollar and upbeat local equities created a balance. Declining oil prices and suspected Reserve Bank of India (RBI) interventions further lent support to the currency, helping it hold steady at lower levels.
