Posted on 21st Sep 2022 06:21 pm by rohit kumar

Dollar vs Rupee: On Wednesday, September 21, the Indian rupee closed at its lowest level against the US dollar. The US Federal Reserve saw a strong dollar index due to fears of a sharp increase in interest rates to control inflation. On September 21, the rupee closed at 79.9750 against the dollar. It had closed at 79.75 in the previous trading session. The rupee opened at 79.79 against the dollar on Wednesday and saw a steady decline during the day\'s trading.

 

The dollar index reached a two-decade high of 110.87. However, it is very unlikely that the US Federal Reserve will increase interest rates by 100 basis points to control inflation. The Federal Reserve is expected to increase interest rates by 75 basis points. This will be the third time in a row with such a huge increase.
