INR crashes to new record low beyond 92.60 mark; Positive equities fail to cap losses
The Indian rupee crashed to fresh lifetime lows on Wednesday, weighed down by a stronger greenback and sustained FII outflows.

At the interbank foreign exchange, the local unit opened at 92.42 against the greenback and traded in the range of 92.41-92.48 for most of the session before losing ground at the fag end to close at its record low.
INR settles at new lifetime low as soaring oil prices dampen sentiments
The Indian rupee declined 14 paise to settle at an all-time low of 92.42 (provisional) against the US dollar on Tuesday, pressured by rising crude oil prices and sustained outflow of foreign funds amid the West Asia crisis. A positive trend in domestic equity markets also helped the domestic currency at the lower level, even as investors remained watchful of the US Federal Reserve's interest rate decision. Indian stock markets closed significantly higher for the second consecutive session, driven by gains in auto and metal sectors despite volatility. The Sensex jumped 568 points (0.75%) to close at 76,071, while the Nifty 50 added over 172 points (0.74%) to end at 23,581, rebounding after recent sharp losses.

INR tumbles to new lifetime lows; Benchmark indices melt amid West Asia conflict and escalating oil prices
The Indian rupee slumped to close at a fresh record low of 92.37 (provisional) against the US dollar on Friday as crude oil prices crossed USD 101/barrel amid the raging West Asia conflict. A stronger greenback, heavy foreign fund outflows and sustained selling in the domestic equity markets further weighed on the rupee. At the interbank foreign exchange, the local unit opened at 92.33 and kept losing ground to hit a fresh intra-day low of 92.47 against the US dollar. It eventually settled at its lifetime low of 92.37 (provisional), down 11 paise from its previous close. Indian shares plunged on Friday to extend their recent string of losses as oil prices climbed back above $100 a barrel amid an ongoing conflict in West Asia involving Iran, Israel and the United States. The Sensex dropped by 1,470 points to close at 74,563, while the Nifty 50 fell 488 points, settling at 23,151.

INR recovers from record lows but settles beyond 92/$ mark
The Indian rupee recovered from record low levels and settled with a loss of 16 paise at 92.17 (provisional) against the US dollar on Thursday as global crude oil prices stayed on an upward trajectory amid the raging war in West Asia. A stronger greenback and volatility in the domestic equity markets further weighed on the rupee, which was already on a weak footing in early trade due to heavy foreign fund outflows. Indian shares fell sharply on Thursday to extend losses from the previous session as the prospect of a quick end to the war in West Asia thinned and trade tensions resurfaced. At close, the Sensex declined 829.29 points, or 1.08 per cent, to settle at 76,034.42, taking its two-day decline to 2,171.56 points.
