24 September, 2025
Rupee falls Against Dollar: On Wednesday morning, the Indian rupee was seen slipping once again in the foreign exchange market. In early trade, the rupee fell 7 paise to reach the 88.80 level, which is weaker than its lowest closing price of 88.73. According to investors and market experts, this decline seems to be deepening due to American tariffs, H-1B visa fees hike and continuous exit of foreign funds. On the previous day, the rupee lost 45 paise to close at 88.73 level. It had touched the most low level of 88.82 during trading. In such a situation, the initial weakness of Wednesday has increased the concern of investors.
Experts’ opinion
Anil Kumar Bhansali, Head of Treasury and Executive Director of Finrex Treasury Advisors LLP, said, H-1B visa fee hike has made the already running issues more serious between India and America. RBI has also allowed the rupee to weaken due to the status of exporters. We can see a new low level 89 this week, after that there can be some recovery.
Foreign investors
Experts believe that frequent selling of experts (withdrawal of Rs 3,551 crore on Tuesday) and uncertainty of international trade policy has increased the pressure on the rupee. At the same time, the dollar index is trading at 97.35 strongly 0.09%, which has increased the strength of greenback (dollar).
Share market and crude oil
The effect of weak rupee was clearly seen on the Indian stock market. On Wednesday morning, the Sensex fell 380 points to 81,721 and the Nifty slipped 106 points to 25,063. There is no relief in the case of crude oil. Brent crude futures are doing business at $ 67.79 per barrel with a gain of 0.24%. This atmosphere is also a matter of concern for the common people. Weak rupee can make the imported goods and foreign standdy tour expensive, while there may be some relief for exporters. At present, the rupee is struggling with the pressure of dollars. At the same time, investors’ eyes are fixed on this week whether the level of 89 will be seen or not.
