The rupee on Wednesday dipped below the level of 82 against the dollar for the first time and finally closed at an all-time low of 81.93, down 40 paise. The rupee depreciated on the back of a firming US currency in overseas markets and investors refrained from investing in riskier markets.
The continued fall in the domestic equity market and continued capital outflows by foreign investors also added to the pressure on the domestic currency. The rupee opened at 81.90 in the interbank foreign exchange market. On Tuesday, it had gained 14 paise to close at 81.53 against the dollar.
Sugandha Sachdeva, Vice-President (Commodity & Currency Research), Religare Broking Limited said that the current phase of selling in the rupee is going on due to limited intervention by RBI amid a fall in forex reserves.
Meanwhile, the dollar index, which measures the strength of the dollar against the world\'s six major currencies, climbed 0.43% to 114.59. Experts say that now everyone\'s focus is on the meeting of the monetary policy committee of RBI. In this meeting, the decision on policy rates will come on Friday.
Dollar is stronger this year by 19.50%
Sachdeva said the rupee further fell to new lows amid risk aversion sentiment in the markets. A breakdown in domestic equity markets and the dollar index approaching a crucial 20-year high of 115 also weighed on the local currency. Most Asian currencies have fallen this year on fears of a global slowdown, while the US dollar has gained 19.50 percent.

Stock markets fall for the sixth consecutive day, below 57,000
The domestic stock markets also declined for the sixth day on Wednesday. Weakness in global markets and frequent capital outflows kept the market down. The Sense fell 509.24 points to 56,598.28 and the Nifty lost 148.80 points to end at 16,858.60. Investors\' capital declined by 1.73 lakh crore to 268.42 lakh crore.
