Rupee stays near bottom of Asia FX pile as headwinds grow
In short
The Indian rupee stayed near the weakest end of Asia’s currencies as global pressures built. It fell 1.2% over the last quarter and 0.7% in a month, with high crude prices and rising bond yields adding pressure.
This matters for import costs, markets and policy watchers. The RBI helped steady the rupee, but the next policy decision may move it and the report does not say by how much.
