- Interest Rates: Higher interest rates in the US often attract foreign investment, strengthening the Dollar.
- Inflation: If India's inflation is higher than the US, the Rupee typically depreciates.
- Crude Oil Prices: Since India imports a significant portion of its oil, rising global oil prices often put pressure on the Rupee.
