Indian Rupee Declines Amid Fed Rate Hike Expectations and Rising Oil Prices
The Indian rupee opened lower against the US dollar, falling between 11 and 13 paise to around 95.49-95.56 on August 31. This decline was driven by increased market expectations of a Federal Reserve rate hike following hawkish comments from Fed Chair Kevin Warsh, alongside rising crude oil prices amid renewed US-Iran tensions. The Reserve Bank of India is expected to intervene to prevent sharp depreciation. Domestic equities also opened lower amid these global economic pressures.
