The Indian rupee dived 0.2% to an all-time low of 83.6512 against the U.S. dollar, surpassing the early low of 83.5750 hit in April, according to the <a href="https://www.bnnbloomberg.ca/indian-rupee-hits-record-low-as-broad-dollar-strength-weighs-1.2087404" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Bloomberg</a>-compiled prices.&nbsp;
The current low was amid continuous foreign fund outflows in the equity market and the strengthening of the greenback. This decline is backed by the climbing crude oil prices overseas and several political and economic factors impacting the market.&nbsp;
David Forrester, a senior strategist at Credit Agricole CIB in Singapore, stated, “US dollar strength is dominating the market at the moment, and that is what is driving the rupee to a record low.”
Even though the rupee has shown a strong depreciation, According to the chief economist, Rajani Sainha, the Indian rupee will trade in the range of Rs 83.25–83.75 against the U.S. dollar in the remaining period of Q1 FY25. RBI interventions are expected to limit the volatility.&nbsp;

 “Currencies are to be issued with a fiat of the government or the central bank of the day. And it is still unregulated in India. That is why we thought it fit to raise it in the G20 forum, because as it is so technology-driven, it will have a bearing on cross-border payments.”
