RBI intervention steadies rupee, governor's rate comment pulls down hedging costs

The RBI governor's comment that further interest rate hikes are 'premature' significantly reduced forward premiums, influencing market expectations amidst a strengthening dollar and potential US Federal Reserve rate hike. This situation highlights the RBI's role in stabilizing the currency amidst global economic pressures.
