(MENAFN) The Indian rupee reached a new low over the Us dollar on Monday, June 13th, as expectations of a rapid rate rise by the US federal Reserve weighed on Asia's third-largest economy's currency.
The Indian rupee fell to a historic low of 78.29 per dollar, while the benchmark 10-year bond yield rose to 7.60 percent, its highest level since February 28, 2019.
With the exception of rising crude oil prices, economists link the weakening Indian rupee to US dollar outflows from Indian equities and bond markets, rising inflation, and a growing current account deficit.
Remarking on the volatility in the currency, Mohit Nigam, head of PMS at Hem Securities, a local stock brokerage house, stated, "the rupee fell to a new all-time low on Monday, as the dollar strengthened and global crude oil prices rose amid rising inflation in India and investors are seen worried about the Reserve Bank of India's next move."
