Rupee Falls Against US Dollar: The Indian rupee has once again weakened in front of the dollar. The rupee fell by 22 paise to 87.78 in early trade on the morning of Tuesday, 26 August. Now everyone wants to know the reason for this. Actually, its biggest rage is preparations for America to impose 25% additional tariffs on India. According to Forex Traders, as soon as the news of American draft notice came, the demand for dollar suddenly increased. After this, the importers broke down to buy dollars and the price of the rupee came down.
Rupees difficulties?
In fact, the US has made it clear that from August 27, Indian goods will be charged 25% additional fees. President Donald Trump had already announced this decision. Now the official draft notice has increased the concerns of investors. Think, when there is such a huge tax on the goods going from India to America, then the pressure on the expoters will increase and the demand of the dollars of the impoters will touch the sky. In such a situation, the pressure on the rupee is natural.
Rupee vs dollars
The rupee opened at 87.74 on Tuesday, then slipped to 87.78. Earlier, on Monday, the rupee closed at 87.56. However, in the initial trade, the rupee strengthened by 87.69 for a while, but could not stand. According to Amit Pabari of CR Forex Advisors, ‘The rupee has broken the level of 87.50 and the next big challenge is 87.80. The RBI often interferes here so that there is no further decline.
Impact on global politics
For information, let us know that Ukraine-Russia peace talks have stopped again. In such a situation, Washington is expected to become more strict. This is the reason that the dollar index fell slightly to 98.38, but still the dollar remains strong. At the same time, questions are being raised on the freedom of Federal Reserve in America, because President Trump has dismissed Governor Lisa Cook.
Stir in the stock market too
Brent crude oil future fell 0.41% to $ 68.52 a barrel. Its impact is also being seen on the Indian stock market. Today the Sensex fell 546.87 points to 81,089.04 and the Nifty fell 179.05 points to 24,788.70. Foreign investors sold shares worth Rs 2,466.24 crore on Monday.
Impact on general public
The weakness of the rupee can have a direct impact on the pocket of the general public. This will make foreign travel, study or shopping expensive. Apart from this, prices of imported goods, such as electronics, cars and luxury products can also increase. However, expoters will benefit from this as they will get more benefit in dollars. It can be said that at this time the rupee has once again been shaken in the thunderstorm of the dollar. Now everyone’s eyes are on the steps of RBI and the government. Will they be able to handle the money or we will have to face more blow?
