Rupee slips by 51p to 87.2 vs $, steepest fall in 3 weeks
The rupee fell 51 paise, closing at 87.2 per US dollar, marking its sharpest decline in three weeks. Regional currency weakness, importer hedging, and dollar demand pressured the currency. The fall is linked to the expiry of NDF contracts and weak sentiment in Asian markets. Analysts expect the rupee to depreciate further with the pace depending on RBI's interventions and foreign outflows.
