 *Indian Rupee Hits All-Time Low: Here's Why It's Plumping 82 Paise Against US Dollar 😊*

The Indian rupee has crashed 82 paise to settle at an all-time low of 93.71 against the US dollar, driven by persistent foreign fund outflows and rising crude oil prices amid mounting geopolitical tensions.

Why Is the Indian Rupee Falling?

The rupee's decline is attributed to several factors:

1. Foreign Fund Outflows

Foreign institutional investors (FIIs) sold equities worth ₹7,558.19 crore on a net basis, exacerbating the rupee's weakness.

2. Rising Crude Oil Prices

Brent crude, the global oil benchmark, rose 1.84% to $110.7 per barrel, further weakening the rupee.

3. Geopolitical Tensions

Escalating tensions in West Asia and the Iran war have driven energy costs higher, impacting the rupee.

Market Impact

The Sensex rebounded from Thursday's crash, rising 325.72 points to 74,532.96, while the Nifty rose 112.35 points to 23,114.50.

What's Next for the Rupee?

Experts predict the rupee may trade with a negative bias, with the USD-INR spot price expected to range between ₹93.20-93.80.
