Rupee Soars: India-US Trade Deal Triggers Biggest Intra-Day Surge Since Dec 2018

• The Indian Rupee surged to a three-week high of 90.19 against the US dollar after the India-US trade deal was finalized.
• It closed at 90.27 against the US dollar on Tuesday, marking the biggest single-day gain since December 2018.
• Forex traders attribute the surge to the trade deal, which reduced US tariffs on Indian exports from 50% to 18%.
• Analysts believe the deal will improve India's trade position and attract renewed foreign portfolio flows into Indian markets.
• The Rupee's strengthening could lead to a reversal in FII outflows and further strengthen Indian equities.
