Rupee Falls to Record Low on Rate Cuts
Friday, October 10th, 2008
The Indian rupee fell to the new record low level versus the U.S. dollar today as the foreign investors pulled out capital out of the country’s markets amid deepening of the global financial crisis.
The Indian rupee is more likely to end this week in a positive zone against the U.S. currency as the investors expected that the companies’ good reports will attract traders and the conversion to local currency.
The Asian currencies fell this week as the oil prices surged and the rising inflation concerns forced foreign investors to cut the inflow of liquidity into this region.
