Analysis based on 12 articles · First reported Dec 12, 2025 · Last updated Dec 12, 2025
The depreciation of the India — Indian rupee to a record low against the United States is a significant concern for financial markets, particularly for importers in India facing higher costs. Uncertainty surrounding the India-United States trade deal and persistent foreign fund outflows are key drivers, potentially impacting foreign investment sentiment towards India.
The India — Indian rupee depreciated to a new all-time low against the United States, reaching 90.56 in early trade and closing at 90.41 on Friday, December 12, 2025. This decline is primarily attributed to uncertainty surrounding the trade deal negotiations between India and the United States, as well as persistent foreign fund outflows from India. Aggressive United States purchases by importers, driven by surging global precious metal prices, also contributed to the India — Indian rupee's pressure. Prime Minister Narendra Modi and United States President Donald Trump held a phone conversation to discuss bilateral economic partnership, with hopes for a trade deal announcement after the final round of discussions. Forex traders are closely monitoring the State Bank of India for potential intervention to support the India — Indian rupee. Despite the currency's weakness, domestic equity markets, represented by the S&P BSE Sensex and NIFTY 50, showed positive movement.
