Rupee logs worst day in 3 weeks on tariff fears, dollar demand
Mint Mumbai
|February 26, 2025
The rupee logged its worst day in three weeks on Tuesday, weighed down by weakness in regional peers, importer hedging and dollar demand related to the expiry of non-deliverable forward contracts.
The rupee ended at 87.21 to the US dollar, down from 86.6950 in the previous session.
The domestic unit slipped 0.6% on the day, its biggest single-day fall since February 5.
The rupee pared some losses as the central bank likely intervened to support the currency after it dropped due to demand for the greenback related to derivatives expiry, four traders told Reuters.
"You have dollar demand on the back of maturity of NDF positions, importer hedging and weak Asian cues—all factors stacked up against the rupee, providing very little room for appreciation," a forex trader at a private sector bank said.
