Rupee Hits Record Lows But RBI Intervention Provides Some Support

  • Rupee fell to record lows against the US dollar due to rising US yields and risk aversion.
  • RBI likely sold dollars to curb volatility and prevent further sharp declines in the rupee.
  • High US interest rates may keep pressuring the rupee despite pullbacks in the US dollar.
  • Importers and exporters have become more active in hedging due to rupee weakness.
  • RBI purchased $4.5 billion dollars net across spot and forward markets in June to stem rupee losses.
