Rupee hits record low of 90.46 vs USD; RBI likely intervenes to limit losses

Wait 5 sec.

The Indian rupee hit a new record low against the U.S. dollar, falling past 90.4675 due to the lack of a trade deal with the U.S. and corporate dollar outflows. The central bank reportedly intervened mildly to slow the currency's depreciation rather than defend a specific level.
