What happened
The Reserve Bank of India introduced new measures to support the rupee, including redirecting oil companies' dollar purchases and tightening hedging rules. Brent crude futures fell 1.6% to $103 a barrel after Donald Trump stated that Ukraine and Russia had agreed to halt attacks on energy facilities following a US diesel-supply deal with Moscow.

Why it matters
The RBI's steps are designed to curb spot-dollar demand and support the rupee, which helps temper inflation and foreign outflows. The expectation of an energy ceasefire and increased Russian supplies eased immediate supply pressure on global oil markets.
