Rupee bleeds red to a new low on greenback demand, slumps against Chinese yuan too

The Indian rupee reached a historic low, surpassing 88 per dollar due to concerns over U.S. tariffs, weak inflows, and limited support from the Reserve Bank of India (RBI). The RBI’s limited intervention contributed to the depreciation, with importers further pressurizing the currency. The rupee also hit a record low against the Chinese yuan, affecting India’s trade competitiveness. Experts suggest the RBI might be allowing the rupee’s depreciation to enhance export stimulus.

Despite strong economic growth in India, the rupee has been hovering around record lows due to equity outflows and corporate dollar demand.

Rupee falls to record low, RBI likely steps in

The Indian rupee hit a new record low on Wednesday due to increased demand for dollars by local oil companies, importers, and equity-related outflows. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) intervened by selling dollars through state-run banks to prevent further losses. The rupee closed at 83.3725 against the U.S. dollar, down 0.1% compared to the previous session's close. The RBI also likely intervened in the non-deliverable forwards market to prevent further depreciation. Weakness in the offshore Chinese yuan and the Japanese yen also contributed to the rupee's decline.

Indian rupee sinks to record low of 12.33 versus offshore yuan in likely boost to competitiveness

The Indian rupee has dropped to a record low against the offshore Chinese yuan, driven by U.S. tariffs on Indian goods. The rupee's decline may boost competitiveness for Indian exporters against Chinese rivals in key markets. With a weaker rupee, Indian products become cheaper, potentially narrowing India’s trade deficit with China. This development is being closely monitored by the Reserve Bank of India, which might find the rupee's movement beneficial within certain limits.

Rupee hits record low, posts steepest weekly fall in seven months

The Indian rupee hit a record low against the US dollar, experiencing its steepest weekly decline in seven months. Factors such as a drop in the offshore Chinese yuan, lack of substantial dollar inflows, and dollar strength contributed to the rupee's fall. A foreign exchange trader noted an "artificial dollar scarcity" in the market, while the Reserve Bank of India appeared absent from the session near its closure. The Korean won and offshore Chinese yuan also experienced losses. Analysts suggest the coming days will be critical for the rupee's performance.

Rupee ends at record low, logs fourth consecutive weekly decline

Rupee falls 35 paise to hit all-time low of 83.48 against US dollar

The Indian rupee depreciated to a record low of 83.48 against the US dollar as the greenback strengthened against major currencies. The decline was driven by the surprising interest rate cut by the Swiss National Bank, which increased the likelihood of a rate cut by the European Central Bank. Foreign fund outflows also impacted the rupee. However, the domestic equity market showed gains, with the Sensex rising by 0.26% and the Nifty by 0.39%. Overall, the rupee is expected to have a negative bias due to the strong US dollar and potential rebound in crude oil prices.

The dollar index increased by 0.1%, while Brent crude oil futures rose about 1% to $67.8 per barrel.

Rupee logs 9th straight week of losses, analysts expect more weakness

The Indian rupee ended at a record low, marking its ninth consecutive week of decline, driven by the rising U.S. dollar and a weakening Chinese yuan. The rupee closed at 85.77 to the dollar, down 0.2% for the week. The Reserve Bank of India's interventions have prevented further decline. The ongoing pressure is due to global dollar strength, fewer expected Federal Reserve rate cuts, and better U.S. economic performance. Analysts predict further rupee weakness.
