Rupee nears 84/$ mark as Asian currencies weaken, dollar gains

The Indian rupee reached its weakest ever level against the US dollar on Tuesday due to weakening Asian currencies and increased demand for dollars. The rupee closed at a record low of 83.9525 per US dollar, down 0.1% from the previous session. The Reserve Bank of India's interventions in various markets have helped to stabilise volatility. However, concerns about a US economic slowdown and the unwinding of carry trades involving the Chinese yuan and the rupee have put pressure on the currency.

Rupee ends flat, unable to benefit from rise in Asian peers

The Indian rupee closed flat against the US dollar on Monday, failing to benefit from the rise in other Asian currencies. The rupee closed at 83.90 against the dollar, almost unchanged from the previous session's close of 83.89. Despite the dollar's slump in August, the rupee has struggled to make gains due to increased dollar demand from importers and outflows from equities. Additionally, the recent comments by Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell indicate an imminent rate cut, further limiting the rupee's potential gains. Analysts expect the rupee to trade between 83.75 and 84 in the near-term.

Some analysts expect the rupee to weaken further in the coming weeks. The dollar index remained steady, while Asian currencies were mixed. Investors are now awaiting the release of US personal consumption expenditure price index data.

Rupee gains alongside Asian peers as US policy worries trouble dollar

The rupee rose 0.3% to close at 85.52 per dollar but remained rangebound due to local bank activities. Asian currencies gained slightly as the dollar index hit its lowest since February 2022.

Rupee ends lower despite rise in most Asian peers; US Fed chair's remarks in focus

The Indian rupee closed weaker against the US dollar despite most Asian currencies posting gains. The rupee was weighed down by importer and interbank dollar bids, as well as the unwinding of interbank long positions. The currency has been trading with a positive bias since the US Federal Reserve announced a 50 basis points rate cut, but has struggled to rise above a key resistance level. The rupee's gains have also been limited by speculative positioning and passive absorption of dollar inflows by the Reserve Bank of India.

Rupee logs weekly decline, likely to trade sideways

The Indian rupee closed nearly unchanged against the US dollar on Friday, as importer dollar demand weighed on the currency. While most Asian currencies gained, the rupee remained in a tight range as dollar demand from local oil companies and importers limited its gains. The rupee is expected to trade sideways between 83.35 and 83.70 in the near term. Focus now turns to the release of the US non-farm payrolls report, which is expected to influence expectations of the Federal Reserve's future rate cuts.

Rupee continues to hover around 84/$ mark amid volatility

The Indian rupee remained stable against the US dollar, closing at 83.9475 on Wednesday. Early gains for the rupee were offset by demand for the dollar from importers and foreign banks. The dollar index dropped by 0.1% to 102.4, benefiting Asian currencies. However, investors are awaiting US retail inflation data to determine the potential for Federal Reserve rate cuts this year. The rupee is expected to remain within its current range unless there are significant inflows or surprising US inflation data.

Rupee ends at fresh record low but fares better than regional peers

The Indian rupee hit a new all-time low against the US dollar, but performed better than other Asian currencies due to dollar sales from state-run banks. The rupee closed at 84.08 against the dollar, slightly down from the previous session. The US dollar has been strengthened by rising bets on a Donald Trump victory in the US presidential election and expectations of interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve. While other Asian currencies saw declines, the rupee is not expected to experience significant volatility as the Reserve Bank of India is likely to limit large moves.

Rupee drops below 84 per dollar on equity outflows, oil prices

- Indian rupee falls below 84 per dollar for the first time on concerns of oil prices and foreign outflows from equity market. - The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) had defended the 84 level, but the rupee breached it on Friday. - RBI intervened by instructing state-run banks to sell dollars to prevent a sharp fall in the rupee. - The rupee may face further pressure, but the RBI is expected to only allow marginal depreciation to maintain stability. - Factors contributing to the rupee's decline include rising oil prices, foreign selling of Indian shares, and a widening trade deficit leading to a shrinking balance of payments surplus. - Asian currencies have performed better than the rupee recently, while expectations rise for the Indian central bank to cut rates.
