**************************************************************************
In December 2025, the Indian Rupee breached the 90-mark against the U.S. Dollar, marking a significant drop in its value. The ongoing uncertainty regarding the US-India trade deal, persistent foreign portfolio investor (FPI) outflows, and weak supply of the US currency have contributed to the rupee's free-fall. As of now, the rupee stands at 90.16 against the dollar, a record low, reflecting fragile market sentiment.
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has been active in the forex market, moderating the rupee's fall, but its intervention appears limited. Market participants are concerned about the weakening currency and have seen an increase in hedging costs due to the rupee’s sharp depreciation. This situation is putting pressure on exporters, importers, and overall inflation. The uncertainty surrounding the US-India trade negotiations continues to weigh heavily on market sentiments.
