US CPI Release Affects Bitcoin and XRP Prices in India
The Indian Rupee (INR) strengthened to ₹94.95 against the US dollar, gaining 2% in early trading on October 14, 2026, following RBI measures to curb forex speculation. This has implications for Bitcoin (BTC) and XRP prices in India, as the rupee appreciation could affect the INR value of dollar-denominated assets. The US September Consumer Price Index (CPI) data release is expected to influence Bitcoin and XRP prices, with a higher-than-expected CPI reading potentially boosting the US dollar and putting pressure on risk assets like BTC and XRP.
