Deep dive - the full story
The Indian rupee extended its losses for the third consecutive session, finishing the day at 95.19. Sustained upward pressure from international crude oil prices and continuous dollar buying by domestic importers drove the currency lower.
Currency depreciation increases the landed cost of imported commodities, feeding into domestic inflationary pressures and impacting current account balances. Exchange rate movements are heavily dictated by global commodity pricing trends and foreign fund flows.
Importing firms and treasury managers must review their hedging strategies to mitigate currency volatility risks during ongoing downward trends.
