The rupee on Wednesday lost 62 paise to close at 79.15 against the dollar, a day after hitting a one-month high. This is the biggest single-day fall in the rupee since March 7, 2022, in the current financial year so far. In July, investor sentiments were weighed down by a widening trade deficit, slowing services sector growth, and tensions between the US and China over Taiwan, adding to pressure on the domestic currency.
The rupee opened with weakness at 78.70 in the interbank foreign exchange market. There was a further decline in it during the day. Earlier on Tuesday, the rupee had strengthened by 53 paise to its highest in 11 months and closed at a one-month high of 78.53. Dilip Parmar, the Research Analyst, at HDFC Securities, said the rupee underperformed against other Asian currencies.
