Under Pressure
As the Indian rupee reached a record low of 87.58 to the dollar on Thursday, it finds itself at a critical juncture, navigating a sea of global and domestic pressures.
The Rupee recouped sharply by 24 paise to 64 against the US Dollar in early trade on Tuesday on increased selling of the American currency by exporters and banks amid a higher opening in the domestic equity market.
Forex dealers said weakness in the Dollar against other currencies overseas supported the Rupee.
