The Indian rupee appreciated 23 paise to 96.65 against the U.S. dollar in early trade on October 9, 2026. It opened at 96.74 before gaining ground, aided by a slight softening of the U.S. dollar and suspected intervention by the Reserve Bank of India. This rise reflects ongoing fluctuations in the foreign exchange market.
