Crude fell from around $100 to $83 after the United States called off planned strikes on Iran and announced talks. Cheaper oil reduces India&#8217;s import bill and supports the rupee. The Reserve Bank has also been selling dollars to steady the currency.<\/p>\n\n    <p><b>Where is it likely to trade?<\/b><br>\n    The pair is likely to trade between 94.75 and 95.50 this week.
