Indian Rupee Finished The Day at 95.22

The Indian rupee closed at 95.22 on Thursday in comparison to its previous 95.1175 on Wednesday. The Reserve Bank of India unanimously voted to keep its repo rate unchanged at 5.25% for a fourth consecutive meeting while sustaining a neutral policy stance, as policymakers view recent consumer price pressures as temporary and supply-driven rather than structural. Although June inflation edged up to 4.4% year-over-year, the central bank trimmed its fiscal inflation forecast to 5.0% and upgraded its growth projection to 6.7% due to solid domestic demand and active government policies. This patient approach helped drive USD/INR down 0.3% to approximately 95.10, supported by lower crude oil prices and over $40 billion in foreign capital inflows generated through special deposit and borrowing facilities introduced earlier in June.

At close, the Sensex was up 373.76 points or 0.48 percent at 78,954.76, and the Nifty was up 11.35 points or 0.05 percent at 24,636.

About 2023 shares advanced, 2058 shares declined, and 200 shares unchanged.

Nifty gainers were Reliance Industries, SBI, Bharat Electronics, Eternal, Titan Company, while losers included Power Grid Corp, Tata Steel, TCS , JSW Steel and Bajaj Auto, JSW Steel.

Indian equity benchmarks concluded the trading session in positive territory on August 6, 2026, driven by declining oil prices alongside robust buying momentum in banking, public sector undertakings, and chemical stocks. The BSE Sensex advanced by 374 points to close at 78,954.76, while the Nifty 50 settled above the 24,600 mark at 24,628.50. Market sentiment remained upbeat despite mixed sectoral performance, with telecommunication and metal counters experiencing selling pressure, contrasting with gains in heavyweights like Reliance Industries and ICICI Bank. Concurrently, major corporate earnings releases, including strong quarterly profit growths reported by Berger Paints and PB Fintech, further energized investor focus as broader macroeconomic indicators showed gold edging higher and silver trading steady.
