15 December, 2025
Rupee against Dollar: In early trading on Monday, the Indian rupee fell by 9 paise against the US dollar and reached its lowest level i.e. 90.58. The main reasons for the pressure on the rupee are considered to be the uncertainty regarding the India-US trade deal and continuous selling by foreign investors. There is currently a “wait and watch” environment in the market, due to which the concerns of investors are clearly visible.
Impact on currency market
Experts associated with the Forex market say that the rupee is currently trading in a negative trend. Investors are waiting for some concrete signal related to the business deal between India and America. The effect of this uncertainty is directly visible on the currency market. In the Interbank Foreign Exchange market, the rupee opened at 90.53, but within some time it fell to an intraday low of 90.58. That means it showed a decline of 9 paise from its previous closing level. Earlier on Friday also, the rupee had weakened by 17 paise and closed at 90.49, which was a record low level at that time.
pressure on rupee
Talking on the global front, the Dollar Index, which shows the strength of the dollar against 6 major international currencies. That means it was trading at 98.35 with a slight decline of 0.05 percent. Despite this, there is pressure on the rupee. There was also a slight increase in the prices of crude oil. Global oil benchmark Brent crude was trading at $ 61.44 per barrel with a gain of 0.52 percent in futures trade. Generally, rising crude oil prices put additional pressure on the rupee for an importer country like India.
stock market fell
There was an atmosphere of weakness in the domestic stock market also. BSE Sensex was trading 298.86 points down at 84,968.80, while Nifty fell 121.40 points to the level of 25,925.55. This decline in the stock market is also giving further fuel to the weakness of the rupee. According to exchange data, on Friday, foreign institutional investors (FIIs) sold Rs 1,114.22 crore from the Indian stock market. It is clear from this that foreign investors are currently staying away from Indian markets.
keeping an eye on trade deals
According to Anil Kumar Bhansali, Head of Treasury and Executive Director, Finrex Treasury Advisors LLP, foreign portfolio investors are continuously selling in both equity and debt segments. At the same time, the Reserve Bank of India is funding their long positions by selling dollars. That is, due to global uncertainty, selling by foreign investors and weakness of domestic markets, the rupee is currently under pressure. In the coming days, trade deals and movements in the global market will play a big role in deciding the direction of the rupee.
