Rupee vs dollar: As part of efforts to reduce stress, the much awaited meeting of Russia and America on August 15 could not fill the Indian rupee. During the early trade on Thursday, 14 August 2025, the rupee fell by 2 paise against the US dollar and it broke to 87.46 levels. A day earlier, the Indian currency had a strong growth of 0.32 percent i.e. 28 paise. So far, about 2.25 percent of the rupee has been demalled in the current financial year, although in August, there has been a strength of 0.18 percent so far.
Why the rupee declines?
There are many reasons behind the fall in the rupee. Anil Kumar Bhansali, Head of Treasury and Executive Director of Finrex Traders LLP, says that the rupee did not fall much due to the continuous selling and intervention of dollars from the RBI. Despite this, this month, foreign institutional investors have sold Rs 18,710 crore this month.
International level geopolitical tension is also affecting. US President Donald Trump has warned Russian President Vladimir Putin that if he was not ready for a ceasefire, serious consequences will have to be suffered. At the same time, American Treasury Secretary Scott Besant has also threatened that if Trump and Putin’s conversation fails, 25 percent of tariffs imposed on India as penalty can be increased further.
What do experts say?
Research analyst of HDFC Securities, Dilip Parmar, says that the rupee recorded its biggest one day since July 3. After a decline in US inflation, the dollar weakened amid hopes of cutting the interest rate of September from the Federal Reserve. He further stated that there were many domestic and regional factors to carry forward the performance of the rupee, including profit in Indian shares and other Asian currencies, fall in crude oil prices and domestic consumer price index (CPI).
