The Indian rupee fell for the fifth consecutive day, opening at 94.21 against the US dollar, down 10 paise from the previous close. The decline is attributed to rising oil prices, impacting India's trade deficit. Exporters are benefiting from better selling opportunities, while importers are advised to wait for lower dollar prices. Most Asian currencies also declined, with the dollar poised for its first weekly gain in three weeks amid stalled U.S.-Iran peace negotiations.
