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.

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.

Rupee falls for seventh week in a row, hits record low

The Indian rupee experienced its seventh consecutive week of decline, reaching a record low before ending slightly higher. The rupee closed at 85.0150 against the US dollar, slightly up from its previous session. The Reserve Bank of India intervened to support the currency, and strong dollar offers from foreign banks also aided its recovery.

The US dollar remains positive in the short-term due to perceived resilience in the US economy.
