Rupee All-Time Low Level: There has been a decline in the Indian stock market since last week and even today the stock market is in sharp decline. The rupee has also kept pace with this and has fallen to the lowest level in its history. The rupee fell by nine paise in early trade to 83.53 against the US dollar, which is its all-time low.
Why did the rupee fall historically?
Amid strong American currency and high crude oil prices, the rupee has fallen to a record low on Tuesday, breaking all its lows. Forex traders said that negative sentiment in the domestic markets and continuous selling by foreign institutional investors (FIIs) also affected investor sentiment.
What will be the effect of fall of rupee?
Purchasing of foreign goods will become expensive and the government will have to spend more for imports, due to which an adverse effect can be seen on the storage of foreign exchange reserves. Indian students are going to have to pay more for fees and other expenses abroad and this will impact the sector as well.
