<\/p>\nRupee Vs Dollar Today.<\/p>\n
The Indian rupee on Tuesday hit a fresh low of 91.14 against the US dollar in the early trade amid FPI selloffs and uncertainties over the US-India trade deal. At the interbank exchange, the rupee opened at 90.87 and then recovered to 90.79 per dollar before breaching the 91 level and hitting the record low of 91.14.<\/p>\n
The rupee had closed at 90.78 against the US dollar in the previous trade on Monday.<\/p>\n

Even a $17 billion reduction in the trade deficit could not bring about a recovery in the rupee, with FPIs continuing to be buyers of dollars by selling equity and debt. More importantly, it is the negative sentiment that is building up due to the non-signing of the deal. Yesterday, the deal with South Korea was signed and completed but for India, it is so near yet so far. Today, the buy-sell Swap of $5 billion will be conducted by the RBI amidst tight liquidity conditions.”<\/p>\n He added that 90.95 should be a resistance for the pair, while there is a support at 90.50.<\/p>\n The rupee has fallen 6% against the U.S. dollar so far in 2025, \u200dmaking it one of the worst-performing emerging market currencies, as steep U.S. tariffs on Indian exports have hurt trade and foreign portfolio flows.<\/p>\n Overseas investors have net sold over $18 billion of local stocks this year, and are on track for the largest annual outflows ever. India\u2019s benchmark equity indexes, BSE Sensex and Nifty 50 were down about 0.4% each in early trading.<\/p>\n While likely maturity of positions in the non-deliverable forwards market contributed to the pressure on the rupee, dollar sales by state-run banks, most likely on behalf of the Reserve Bank of \u2060India, helped cap the slide, traders said.<\/p>\n \u201cThe rupee\u2019s weakness \u200bis being driven primarily by tariff-related concerns and \u200dforeign investor selling, not by deterioration in economic fundamentals. As long as these short-term imbalances persist, pressure may \u200ccontinue,” said Amit Pabari, managing director at FX advisory firm CR Forex.<\/p>\n \u201cIn the very near \u200cterm, 90.00\u201390.20 remains a strong support zone (for the rupee), while 90.80\u201391.00 acts as a key resistance area,” he said.<\/p>\n Analysts say a reversal in the rupee\u2019s fortunes is unlikely unless there is a breakthrough in U.S.-India trade negotiations.<\/p>\n \u201cLet\u2019s see what happens in the next few months,” India\u2019s \u2060trade secretary said \u2060on Monday, referring to the ongoing negotiations but added that India is engaged with the U.S. to see if they can close the deal \u201csooner than \u200blater”.<\/p>\n A rebound in \u200cIndia\u2019s exports last month and resilient economic growth have helped blunt the impact of steep U.S. \u200dtariffs, easing immediate pressure on New Delhi to clinch a trade deal, \u200canalysts say.<\/p>\n India\u2019s exports to the U.S. grew 21% year-on-year in November, helping narrow the merchandise trade deficit to a five-month low of $24.53 \u200dbillion.<\/p>\n (With Inputs from Reuters)<\/p>\n December 16, 2025, 09:31 IST<\/p>\n News<\/a> business<\/a> economy<\/a> Rupee At Fresh Record Low, Breaches 91 For The First Time In History: Why Is It Falling?Disclaimer: Comments reflect users\u2019 views, not News18\u2019s.
