Rupee Weakens for Sixth Session; Falls Against US Dollar
The Indian rupee, which is the money used in India, lost value for the sixth day in a row compared to the US dollar.
This happened because the dollar is strong and investors are taking money out of India.
However, the price of oil went down, and the stock market in India went up, which helped to slow down the rupee's fall.
Experts are keeping an eye on trade talks between India and the US, and also the US's decision on interest rates, which might affect how the rupee will do in the future.
The Indian rupee weakened for the sixth consecutive session, closing at 86.41 against the US dollar.
The rupee opened weak at 86.46 and reached an intra-day peak of 86.34.
The rupee's decline was influenced by a strong US dollar and outflows of foreign funds.
Lower crude oil prices and gains in domestic equity markets provided some support to the rupee.
Experts are watching the India-US trade talks and the upcoming US interest rate decision.
