New Delhi, Oct 7: The rupee weakened to a new low against the US dollar on Friday as Federal Reserve officials in the US outlined a large quantum of rate hikes going ahead, leading to a stronger greenback globally.
The rupee, which weakened past the 82 per dollar mark for the first time, was at 82.76 per dollar at 16:00 IST. Its previous low was 81.95 per dollar.
The rupee has suffered an intense spell of weakness since September 21 after the Fed signalled a longer-than-expected US rate hike cycle. The local currency has depreciated 2.9 per cent since that day, breaching past successive psychologically crucial levels.
Your point of view caught my eye and was very interesting. Thanks. I have a question for you.
