The Rupee opened weaker as it faces another day of pressure from rising oil prices, with the central bank's support likely to temper ?rather than reverse the currency's decline. The South Asian unit has dropped about 0.7% over the past ?two days after largely shrugging off the rise in oil prices ?in the prior sessions. The latest slip suggests the impact of higher ?crude prices is beginning to show more clearly, despite the ?Reserve Bank of India's interventions, bankers said. The rupee ?in ?the last two sessions has shown higher sensitivity to oil prices than other Asian currencies that are similarly exposed to crude. Brent crude remained above ?the $100-a-barrel mark, a sensitive point for import-oil-dependent India, on ?Thursday, with ?the conflict between Iran and the U.S. intensifying. The latest military strikes on shipping have heightened concerns over the extent and duration of supply constraints. The U.S. ?10-year ?Treasury yield climbed to its highest since ?2023, pressured by the disappointing Treasury buyback and a renewed surge in oil prices, ?compounding pressure on the rupee.

The dollar index , which measures the greenback against a basket of currencies, gave up earlier gains and eased to 98.73. Elsewhere, the New Zealand dollar was 0.3% stronger at $0.5851, while the ?Australian dollar was flat at $0.7215. Oil prices held firm on Thursday after Brent crude breached $100 a barrel, with traders ?bracing for deeper supply disruptions as Iran and the United States ?launched their largest attacks on shipping since their six-month-old conflict began. Brent crude futures inched lower by 0.1% to $101.10 a barrel by 0256 GMT. U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude was at $96.24 ?a barrel, up 0.2%.......
