Indian Rupee vs US Dollar: The trend of decline in the Indian rupee continues. Due to the strength of the US dollar, the Indian currency remained in a limited range in early trade on Monday and fell by 5 paise to reach Rs 88.77 per dollar. Foreign exchange traders say that the rupee remains close to its all-time low.

Anil Kumar Bhansali, Head of Treasurer and Executive Director, Finrex Treasury Advisors LLP, says that the market sentiment for this pair (rupee-dollar) is influenced by the strength of the US dollar. Also, the mild risk-off environment at the global level and domestic factors such as the stable policy stance of the RBI and the outlook for controlled inflation are also contributing to this.

Bhansali further said that there has been a slight decline in the dollar index, which is due to the easing of trade tensions between America and China (US-China trade war). He also said that volatility in the global market and geopolitical developments will remain the major factors determining the direction of the rupee in the near future.
