Rupee hits record low of 95.85/USD as energy risk worries deepen



[

The Indian rupee fell to an all-time low on Thursday, pressured by stubbornly high oil prices and persistent ‌foreign ⁠portfolio ⁠outflows that have led to current and capital account strain for Asia’s third-largest economy.

The rupee fell 0.1% to 95.8525 per U.S. dollar, eclipsing ⁠its previous ‌record low of 95.7950 hit in ⁠the previous session.

The rupee has declined 1.4% this week and hit record lows in each trading session between Tuesday and Thursday.

India’s heavy reliance on ‌oil imports leaves the currency particularly vulnerable among emerging markets ⁠if the Iran war drags on. The country imports about 90% of its oil needs and about 50% of its gas requirements.
