Rupee falls most in a month after Indian strikes in Pakistan raise tensions

The Indian rupee experienced its steepest single-day drop in a month amid escalating geopolitical tensions following Indian military strikes in Pakistan. The rupee fell nearly 0.5% against the U.S. dollar, reflecting market jitters over potential conflict between the two nuclear-armed nations. As both countries engage in military actions, market stability remains uncertain. The Reserve Bank of India may intervene to manage currency volatility, while overall risk appetite declines across Asian financial markets.

Rupee ends month and quarter a tad lower, trails most Asian peers

The Indian rupee ended the month and quarter slightly lower against the U.S. dollar, underperforming most Asian peers due to muted portfolio inflows and an external investment deficit. The rupee closed at 85.7550 against the dollar, with losses of 0.2% and 0.3% for the month and quarter. While Asian currencies like the Taiwanese dollar and Korean won rose, India’s external investment deficit remained a key factor in the rupee's underperformance.
