updates: The Indian rupee reached a new record low against the US dollar on August 7, 2024 [f1ae3741]. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) intervened by selling dollars to stabilize the currency. The rupee has been affected by the unwinding of carry trades and increased demand for dollars by local importers. The overall forex market is jittery due to US economic slowdown risks, monetary policy divergence, and geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. Investors should expect continued volatility in the currency markets [f1ae3741]. The Indian rupee closed at an all-time low against the US dollar, despite efforts by state-run banks to prop it up. India's BSE Sensex and Nifty 50 indices both fell 0.7%, mirroring declines in European and Japanese markets. Investors are concerned about a potential US economic downturn and are unwinding carry trades fueled by a soft yen. Other Asian currencies, especially the Indonesian rupiah, edged higher. The dollar index climbed to 103.1, up slightly against a basket of six major currencies. The RBI's steps to bolster the rupee show central banks are ready to intervene in tough times. India's foreign exchange reserves are at a record $675 billion. Barclays Bank predicts the RBI might start easing its monetary policy from December 2024 [9f84d4c3].
