Rupee Hits Record Low Amid Foreign Fund Outflows, Tariffs
The Indian Rupee fell to its lowest value ever against the US Dollar.
This happened because investors are taking their money out of India.
There were also worries about new taxes (tariffs) from the US government.
Despite the US dollar being weaker and oil prices dropping, the Rupee still fell.
The stock market also saw foreign investors selling off stocks.
Domestic investors bought some stocks, but not enough to offset the selling.
The rupee's value slightly recovered after news agencies denied rumours of new tariffs.
Overall, the market is cautious due to these financial moves.
The rupee closed at a record low of 88.27 against the US dollar.
The rupee's decline was attributed to foreign fund outflows and tariff concerns.
Foreign institutional investors (FIIs) sold Indian equities for all five days of September.
FIIs sold a net ₹5,667 crore worth of equities in the first week of September.
The NSE Nifty 50 and BSE Sensex experienced marginal changes on Friday.
