MUMBAI, July 23 (Reuters) – The Reserve Bank ​of India likely ‌intervened in the foreign exchange market ​on Thursday ​to limit the rupee’s ⁠losses as ​a relentless rise ​in oil prices deepened the South Asian ​unit’s drift ​back towards record lows.
The ‌rupee ⁠was at 96.48 per dollar, up 0.1% from ​its ​closing ⁠level in the previous ​session. The ​currency ⁠hit its all-time low of ⁠96.96 ​in May.
