Rupee hits new low on Monday

03 Feb 2025 Evaluate

Indian rupee fell to a record low, slipping past the 87 per US dollar mark for the first time on Monday, as global market sentiments were impacted after the Trump administration slapped tariffs on Canada, Mexico and China. Sentiments also weighed down by the strength of the American currency and massive selling in the domestic equity market. Traders were anxious as exchange data showed Foreign institutional investors (FIIs) offloaded equities worth Rs 1,327.09 crore in the capital markets on a net basis on Saturday. Traders overlooked a monthly survey showing that India's manufacturing sector growth started the year 2025 on a strong footing and touched a six-month high in January, fuelled by the steepest upturn in exports in nearly 14 years. The seasonally adjusted HSBC India Manufacturing Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) rose from December's one-year low of 56.4 to 57.7 in January supported by the fastest upturn in new export orders since February 2011. On the global front, the US dollar surged on Monday, climbing to a three-week high after US President Donald Trump delivered on his threat of more trade tariffs, boosting demand for the safe haven.

Finally, the rupee ended at 87.16 (Provisional), depreciated by 54 paise from its previous close of 86.62 on Friday. The currency touched a high and low of 87.29 and 87.00 respectively.
