-
USD/EUR (Euro): 0.86 (+0.09%)

This broad rally underscores the dollar’s safe-haven appeal as investors respond to mixed signals from the US Federal Reserve and global markets.
Economic Context
Traders and analysts attribute the rupee’s depreciation to strong foreign fund outflows, higher oil import costs, and renewed demand for the US dollar in Asian markets. With India’s inflation inching higher and the Reserve Bank of India maintaining a cautious stance, currency volatility may persist in the near term.
Market experts advise businesses engaged in imports to hedge their dollar exposure, while exporters may benefit from the weaker rupee. Investors will now watch upcoming US inflation data and the Federal Reserve’s rate decision for clues on the greenback’s next move.
