Rupee Breaches 89, Closes at All-Time Low Amid Global Sell-Off
The Indian rupee hit a record low on Friday, closing at 89.66 against the US dollar.
This happened due to a huge demand for the dollar in the domestic forex market and widespread selling pressure in local and global equities.
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) did not intervene to defend the rupee, surprising traders.
The rupee has been under pressure this financial year due to worries about a trade deal and consistent equity outflows.
The fall in the rupee's value makes imports more expensive and could hurt Indian industries.
