Indian Rupee Hits Record Low
Analysis based on 6 articles · First reported Dec 02, 2025 · Last updated Dec 03, 2025
The depreciation of the India — Indian rupee to a record low against the United States signals increased volatility and potential economic instability for India. This event is likely to negatively impact Indian equity markets, as evidenced by the drops in the S&P BSE Sensex and NIFTY 50, and could prompt intervention from the State Bank of India to stabilize the currency.
The India — Indian rupee hit an all-time low against the United States, breaching the psychological 90-a-dollar level in intraday trade before settling at 89.95. This depreciation is attributed to continued short-covering from speculators and sustained importer demand for the United States. Factors contributing to this include foreign fund outflows from equities and lingering uncertainty over the Indo-United States trade deal. Analysts, such as Anindya Banerjee from Meritz Securities, emphasize the critical need for the State Bank of India to remain active below the 90 level to prevent further speculative-driven spikes in USD-INR volatility. The domestic equity markets, including the S&P BSE Sensex and NIFTY 50, also experienced significant declines, reflecting the fragile investor sentiment.
